CURRENT MISSION

Tour on Bike

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Bike touring to put ourselves out there and seek out new experiences with new people. Staying with hosts along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had only awesome Couchsurfing experiences, all surfing, not hosting yet. Last summer we took a trip to Montreal and spent it with 3 different hosts. That trip alone had a really positive impact on our worldviews and plans for our life. So excited to do it again.

Interests

Philosophy, eating honey, rolling in meadows, bicycles, dancing, whistling, cats, and animals in general, but especially cats. Ceilidh/contra dancing.
We don't really drink or smoke, though we don't have a problem with others who do.
