CURRENT MISSION

Open the door - let the world and friendship in

ABOUT ME

We are married, have one 19 year old son and a small dog name Misty. We enjoy sightseeing, museums, galleries, sporting events and local attractions. We like to travel and hope to do more of it. Photography is my passion and here is my Instagram account www.instagram.com/ranekphotography/

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Life is short...live life to its fullest; however, a full life is different things to different people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We can share our home with travelers, show you around and learn about your travels over a glass of wine or coffee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are sold on this great travel idea. We are looking forward to our next CS trip and we hope to host in our home in Troy. We have met so many great CSers this is definitely the way to go and see the world. Hope to host some families to expand our horizons and introduce our son to international travelers.
