CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world one place at a time

ABOUT ME

We are a fun-loving couple with two dogs, three abnoxious kids, lots of traveling stories, and a mission - to help as much as we can in order to make this world a better place for all 💙💛
We used to couch-surf a lot and used this site extensively before we had three (!!) kids, two dogs, and a fish, and are now more or less stuck in one place most of the time 😆😵‍💫 About two months ago I went to the Mexican border to volunteer with the new coming Ukrainian refugees and it began a journey for me that I absolutely love. I now volunteer for the southern California chapter of NovaUkraine and try to find hosts for Ukrainian refugees locally. And, naturally, I thought of couchsurfing as a wonderful way to find potential hosts! If you are interested in becoming a mentor to a refugee, host them for however long you can and help them adjust here please contact me. It's impossible to describe how rewarding it is to truly help someone in dire need. It will change your life 🌻🌻🌻

PHILOSOPHY

"The only limitations are those you place on yourself and those you allow other people to place on you." Jean Driscoll
