Since meeting in 2012, we have lived in Slovenia, Spain, Ireland, Iceland, and the USA. We are currently living in Malta.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have both hosted and been hosted many times and have always loved it. Couchsurfing allows us to meet people we wouldn't ordinarily meet, learn things we wouldn't ordinarily have learnt, eat and drink things we wouldn't ordinarily have eaten and drunk.

Interests

We both drink a lot of tea. We like reading and hiking and travelling and cooking and introducing people to Eurovision. Mike's also writing a series of romance novels, so there's that.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES
Kevin: Magnolia.
Mike: Clue.

MUSIC
Kevin: Sinéad O'Connor, Sigur Rós, The Divine Comedy.
Mike: Irama, Mango Groove and 'Hands' (the Christmas version!) by Jewel.

BOOKS
We keep buying them. If you're really bored, you can check out our book puzzle staircase. It's a thing. We can explain.

The Heart's Invisible Furies is one of the best from the past few years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mike made a movie about his home state of Vermont: https://www.onetownatatime251.com/

Kevin has hiked 20 of Korea's 21 national parks. (In my defense, there were only 20 while I was living there: they added a 21st after I left.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I/we can teach you: the rudiments of Korean and/or Icelandic grammar, how to make soda farls, how to use bicarbonate of soda for all your health and beauty needs, how to catch frogs. We can also teach you about Eurovision. Which you really should know about, if you don't already. :)
