About Me

We are a friendly, outgoing family with 2 children. I make designer tiles for a living and enjoy designing things in home decor. She runs a software startup and is also way smarter than me. We arent really party animals, but enjoy going for plays, movies, nice dinners, and that sort of thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Growing up, my parents always had a lot of guests from different nationalities. We also host many friends of friends who come from different parts of the world, and we find it a lovely experience to learn about new cultures. We want to expose our children to the cultures and people of different lands so they open their minds.
