We are a multicultural family of 4 traveling the world for a year. We are looking to promote peace through understanding at a personal level because if you know someone, it's harder to hate them.

Peace is not achieved through politics. It's achieved through interacting with people who are different than we are.

I am also a member of Rotary International and we engage in service projects along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We can't afford to stay in hotels for 12 months, and we really don't want to -- we want to meet locals, see how they live and find out more about them while they find out more about us.

Once we get home, we look forward to showing hospitality to people who come to our area.

Music, Movies, and Books

We like all kinds of music, as long as it's good. So far on this trip there has been a lot of ABBA!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a novel in my spare time while running my business.

Teach, Learn, Share

We see ourselves as ambassadors, we want to tell you what life is like for us in the farthest corner of California and we want to hear what life is like for you: what you eat, the music you listen to, your religious beliefs, what you hear about the US, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We really like people! We like to meet them, to eat with them, and to discuss the things that we know, or the things we think. We are here to spread peace through understanding.
