CURRENT MISSION

Love in every country on this planet!

ABOUT ME

We travel because it makes us free. We love wearing our homes on our backs and filling our memory banks and hearts with all there is to experience in this world - there's not a single thing we'd rather be doing and we feel so lucky to have nothing but time on our hands!

PHILOSOPHY

Dewi: Give more, expect less. Love more, fear less.

Josh: Love life, fear nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One day we'll have a home and be able to give back to this awesome community - until then, we are the friendly vagrants on your couches.

Interests

Dewi: Above all else, I am endlessly and lovingly interested in people. I love music, children, traveling, writing, reading, films, art, food, cooking, adventuring about, hearing other people's stories, new ideas, nature, and doing things that scare me.

Josh: Art, music, building things, jumping out of planes, pushing the limits, helping others and having a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Dewi: I love music more than I could explain in this medium. I like reading Rumi, Fitzgerald, Coupland, Salinger, Sedaris, Potok, July, Gibran, Vonnegut, Bukowski, Eugenides, Hafiz and Murakami.

Josh: I like Disney movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dewi: I traveled to Guyana for six weeks to volunteer in a remote Amerindian village without electricity, running water or linear time. My heart found home here.

Josh: I spent four weeks in Louisiana/Mississippi post-Katrina. We spent most of our time drywalling, also did some building. In 2007 I spent four weeks in Mexico building a roof for a special needs school. I have never traveled over seas and can't wait!

Teach, Learn, Share

Dewi: I am a Red Seal licensed hairstylist and have trained with Goldwell, Redken, and Vidal Sassoon. I'd be more than happy to teach all kinds of haircuts and also cut your hair! I speak both German and English, and am interested in learning as many languages as possible - especially Malay/Indonesian!

Josh: I am experienced in construction, and am willing to impart any bits of knowledge I may possess to anyone. I want to learn really anything anyone has to teach. I am an eager student.
