Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When we are home (Fort Collins, CO) we enjoy hosting visitors. But for the next 1-2 years we are traveling via bikes and look forward to visiting new places and meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although we are fully prepared with camping and cooking equipment, the generosity of perfect strangers is what is truly propelling this trip.

Interests

Cycling, running, picture taking, trying to swim, exploring, nerdy things, hiking, and travelling of course.
