ABOUT Steve and Brooke

We love to meet new people and explore new ideas and places. Travel is an important part of our lives. Right now we are stir crazy but are in the design process of creating an urban food forest on our double lot while I finish up my sociology degree. My husband, Steve is a freelance writer and also works for natural awakenings magazine.

We are also musicians in a band called the Earth Natives. Our hopes for our music is that it inspires others as well as continues to remind ourselves to appreciate and take care of our beautiful planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have couch surfed just once in our state. We have hosted many times at our house and it has been a great experience meeting so many interesting travellers.

One couch surfer left home for the first time to go across the country to get a particular puppy he felt destined to have! He ran out of money, called the local news, and after the story aired, got recognition from inside edition, who came and payed for his flight back home!
