CURRENT MISSION

We've chucked it all and moved onto a sailboat. Starting in Southern Florida, we'll follow the warmth and explore the world.

ABOUT BRIAN

Technology entrepreneur and small business lover. Love music, good food, and Toronto.

ABOUT MELINDA

I lead a neighborhood bicycle tour in Toronto, am a PADI Dive Instructor, and want to learn new things and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Back home in Toronto, we love meeting new people. We've met some fantastic and very interesting folks through hosting, and can't wait to meet more when we travel ourselves.

Now that we are out on our sailboat, we will visit as many places and meet as many people as we can.
