About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the world. And eat all of it's cheeze.

ABOUT ME

I/We are laid back and no frill. We like to have fun and explore the world and prefer people who are creative and interesting. When we are home we like to bike a lot and listen to music. We have a large garden and pretend to know what we are doing with it. We visit the local breweries fairly often. Currently we are rehabbing our home. So I've become very proficient at turning "a couple hours" of work into a never ending cascade of mistakes.

PHILOSOPHY

Livin the dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We like to meet new and interesting people. Simple as that.

Music, Movies, and Books

We are both avid indie rock fans and regularly hit the town to catch a jam. Jon digs low-budget zombie movies & Lala is definitely a bibliophile with piles of half-read books all over the house.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have backpacked Central America, Asia & the Yucatan. Jon got pirated while sailing the BVI, and scuba dove in caves and mines.

I am an "on the side side" photographer. So I am always searching for amazing light and beautiful days, anywhere I can find inspiration.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn about amazing undiscovered places and great places to hike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beer, bourbon, bad jokes & good playlists.
