Présentation
À propos de moi
ABOUT ME
We are a couple from USA/Canada who met while living and studying in Switzerland. Joel graduated from a small liberal arts college in Michigan where he studied Art History, and Magda studied French in Canada. We are low maintenance and easy to please, and mostly enjoy hanging out with good people.
PHILOSOPHY
We have a huge barrel of wine, but no cups.
That's fine with us. Every morning
We glow and in the evening we glow again.
They say there's no future for us. They're right.
Which is fine with us.
-- Jalaluddin Rumi
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We hosted many times while we lived in Nice, but we finally got the chance to surf a little and it was a lot of fun. Though our town in Canada was small, we got to show a few people around there too. Now we are living in Michigan and hope to meet more people who are on the road.
