We enjoy traveling and when we do, we like to choose places that will make us feel like locals. An apartment in Rome, staying with friends in Paris, a no-frills hostel in Utila, Honduras, an Airbnb in Granada, Nicaragua, and most recently, a shack without electricity (but nearly on top of the ocean) in Playa Blanca, Colombia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We started renting our our guest house a few years ago with the intention of providing the same warm experience to our guests that we have received throughout our travels. Unfortunately, we found out that our house is not zoned for short term rentals so we are opening it up to couch surfers a few times a year.

Interests

We are very involved in our local Surfrider Foundation Chapter, we are constantly trying to lessen our impact on the environment, we are also constantly trying to become healthier and better cooks, using whole food ingredients and less meat and dairy. Ryan is a surfer, Brandy is a bookworm/couch potato (but she can stand up paddleboard!) We moved to New Smyrna Beach because 1. we absolutely love it here and 2. we have family in Orlando that we wanted to be closer to.
