About Me

CURRENT MISSION

....Top Secret.

ABOUT ME

We are a couple that has known each other for 20+years, and have been married for 7. We don't have kids (yet!), and love the freedom that brings us. We have both grown up in the Red Deer area and would love to show you around and have an adventure with you!
We don't take ourselves too seriously!

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world - Jen

Sometimes I get so upset with the state of the world, I can barely finish my second apple pie - Travis

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes we're sleeping....sometimes we're hosting...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up for couch surfing back in 2006. After hosting a couple people from Canada there wasn't much activity and I closed my account. Then in 2012 we were travelling to Morocco and decided to couch surf, so I opened another account. Our host was so great and really gave us an adventure we could not have had on our own. Since then we have hosted numerous people from around the world, had many more great experiences and met some new friends.

Interests

We enjoy fun! We love the outdoors, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing or camping. We are addicted to travelling, having been to over 40 countries and no plans on quitting anytime soon. We like to meet new people, listen to great music, drink good beer/wine, and read great books.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through amazing countryside, epic powder days, the outdoor playground our backyard provides, and experiencing the everyday in different cultures with different people.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are interested in showing those who stay with us, our part of the world, our daily lives. In exchange, we enjoy the opportunity to experience new food, culture, and seeing the world through a new set of eyes.
