Oh hai! This is a joint account for my wife (Steph) and I (Lucas). We're a couple of adventurers who love exploring new places and getting out of our comfort zones every once in a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted/surfed a while back and absolutely loved it, but have been on a bit of a CS hiatus for the past few years. We're looking to get back into the community and start meeting incredible people who remind us that this world is full of so much goodness. Building and spreading trust is so important in the world today and what a better way to do that than through Couchsurfing!

We're also planning a big around-the-world trip in 2019 and always looking for great recommendations and contacts to make our time on the road that much better.
