ABOUT ME

We've been married for twenty-five wonderful years and life just keeps getting better. We're perhaps the stereotypical Canadians: quiet, polite and reserved, but both of us have a hidden adventurous spirit. We enjoy both nature and culture, are inquisitive and others see us as a bit ecofreakish.

PHILOSOPHY

If things aren't to your liking, then change your liking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We enjoy meeting other couchsurfers in our travels. For us, travelling is not just about checking off a list of tourist sites. We like to experience the local culture by interacting with people, eating good food and soaking in the atmosphere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've hosted a number of couchsurfers in our home and continue to look forward to meeting more interesting people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jen is a classical musician who also enjoys jazz music. Jim listens to Jen practice. We both like to read books that are either thought-provoking or funny. We don't watch many movies, but have a strange fondness for doom-and-gloom documentaries. We gave the TV away years ago and don't miss it at all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've been swimming in all four of the world's oceans. Well OK, the Arctic Ocean was more of a mad dash than a swim, but there was full immersion!
