ABOUT ME

Hi.

We are Crew and Kate. We are a couple. We love each other very much! :)

We are interested in traveling the world together, and learning as much as we can along the way. In the meantime we enjoy hosting other travelers.

We're both artists, and enjoy other people's art.

We are happy to open our home to weary travelers. We are great for conversation and hospitality! We also like to show folks around. Austin is an amazing and unique city.

If you're thinking about hosting us, we're extremely clean people. We are very respectful of other people's belongings, and appreciative of any hospitality that you can show us!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crew served with the American Red Cross during Hurricane Katrina relief. Being in Mississippi and Louisiana during that time changed the way that he looks at the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are photographers. (Used to work as pro photographers, now it's a hobby.)

Kate manages a beauty salon/store, and does design work.

Crew helps software engineers find rewarding careers. He also moonlights as a dating coach (yes, like "Hitch"). You can find out more about that at: http://www.theminimalists.com/mentors/crew/
