CURRENT MISSION

"It takes a village", we believe that building a global community through sharing and service to people and the planet creates a positive ripple effect that can change the world.

ABOUT ME

We are fun, active people who spend our days off outdoors playing pickleball, mountain biking or hiking in the desert and mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

"Wag More, Bark Less"
Markus and I are both very positive people, and we believe in the power of kindness.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participated in couchsurfing many years ago and hosted guests in my home in Durango, CO, and Santa Fe, NM. I traveled throughout Australia on a motorbike from 22 May 2023 - 22 May 2024.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted guests in my home and spent several nights in the homes of other couchsurfers; it was a great experience.

兴趣

Our interests include nature and education. When we are not at work or studying, we spend most of our time outdoors. Markus is an avid cyclist, and Kim is a family nurse practitioner in a busy emergency department with a small practice in Integrative Medicine. Kim has also worked overseas with Medicins Sans Frontieres.

音乐、电影和书籍

We don't own a TV. We find our news and world events on public radio and internet.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Kayaked with whales, Greys, Orcas, and Humpbacks in the Pacific Ocean.
Crossed the Sea of Cortez in a sea kayak, and spent months living in the desert of southeastern, Utah.
Worked with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Southern Sudan, Africa.
I spent six months riding solo on my motorcycle around Australia.

Kim is a family nurse practitioner in a busy emergency department and a retired Outward Bound instructor with decades of living in the wilderness.
