ABOUT ME

in 2010, we did a 3 month round-the-world honeymoon. in 2013 we did a month long road trip of the Southern U.S. We stayed with couch surfers along the way.

When we travel, we love seeing the local perspective anywhere we go. We like to eat the best food in town, find thrift shops, and hear people's stories. Connections with locals make for our best traveling adventures.

Jared tells stories. Sophie looks for ways to address injustices.

PHILOSOPHY

love God. love others. find adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted people in our previous homes and we love to stay with people as we travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

By hosting and traveling we've had great couchsurfing experiences in both Europe and the United States. We've enjoyed sharing meals with our hosts, either cooking for them or enjoying their cooking. In Memphis we went on a late night adventure with our host to a crazy man's house dedicated to Elvis. We discussed American and German views on politics and prostitution in Munich. We've taken people to the best burrito spot in San Diego.

Interests

We love rivers, rain, fields, berries, unique cities, fun pictures, dancing, enjoy good drink, soccer, books, and movies.
