My husband and I both grew up in the United States in NJ. We're both very active and really just love to spend our time together in nature. We've traveled probably a bit more than we like to at times, and have lived all over the United States as well as Costa Rica, Taiwan and Thailand. We've been vegans since 2010 and fruitarians since 2013. Our favorite fruits always seems to change but definitely can develop a crazy attachment to figs, lychees, mangosteen, mangos, durian, cantaloupes and tomatoes. Overall, we tend to live a pretty quiet life. We love meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and learning from our experiences on this beautiful planet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to use couchsurfing to meet people around the world and really experience the local environments we travel to by staying with locals. We really don't enjoy the hotel experience and just prefer staying in someone's home and getting to know them and having the opportunity to learn more about the local area.
