About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, life's short. No, seriously, have fun and give something back

ABOUT ME

Moved to Creston from Dawson Creek in the summer of 2012 and are now getting back into hosting couch surfers. We live in town on an acre of land with a creek running through it, in a house with spare bedrooms. We spend our spare time walking in the Skimmerhorns or floating the Goat River with our trusty companion Dennis. We also love to garden. In the summer we have an ideal place for you to pitch your tent.

PHILOSOPHY

This has changed lately due to our age. Mostly interested in having fun, meeting people and taking in as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We welcome folks to contact us and experience Creston.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over the last few years we've hosted a lot of surfers in Dawson Creek. Now that we've moved and are settled, we'd like to start up again. Over the years we've had some great experiences and stories.

Interests

We travel as much as possible, love to garden, hike in the mountains with Dennis the Basset hound, have fun cooking, drinking and evenings in front of the fireplace. Also spend time floating on the Goat River when it's hot and sipping on gin tonics.
Also spend time hiking in the slot canyons of Utah twice a year.
