About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking the long road home.

ABOUT ME

We've just completed two years in Mozambique with the Peace Corps and we're traveling north through Africa on our way home. We're excited about the new places we're going and would love to have a glimpse at the life of a local. Also, we make a mean gin and tonic and have been known to cook for our hosts in exchange for accommodation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
