CURRENT MISSION

Cycling Living Europe! Almost 5000km, Benana and Jam on bicycles!

ABOUT ME

Flying through Space/time like everyone else.

James: "You're a 60-year old hippie in the making".
Benna: "You're such a whacky green thumb"

We are a couple of folks, travelling from the humbly beautiful who are embarking on a bicycling journey around Europe in May and June this year.
Neither of us have couch surfed before but are incredibly happy to see the idea and try it out. Hopefully we will have a place that we can host in the near future after the trip and return the favour.
One of us is just finishing up his second year at Dal University and the other is taking a wee break from working as a Forest Stewardship Coordinator.
We enjoy food, company, laughter, bicycles, fresh air, new adventures, and bugs smacking us in our faces....all part of the touring deal.

PHILOSOPHY

Spiritual oneness. Riding the crest. Willingness to grow. Stewards of our land.
