We are still fairly new to CS, but have already had some wonderful experiences! Thanks to all of our awesome hosts, and welcome to all future surfers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have made many great CS connections through surfing and hosting. We recently moved and have been a lot busier but we want to host again soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We drove from LA to Nashville and back over the course of two weeks in summer 2015. Took the scenic route through as many National Parks as we could and saw some things we will never forget. Highlights: watching thunderstorms in the distance from our campsite in Texas; the Carlsbad Caverns; driving down rocky dirt roads through Zion praying that we not get a flat tire; driving across the famous Trail Ridge Road in Colorado; the eerie chorus of coyotes in Arizona...

Next up: ITALIA!

Teach, Learn, Share

We would love to learn anything anyone is willing to teach us. We wish we knew more things to share...we're still learning so much. We can teach you to cook something, or we could make art together. Lydia is in school, works full-time and volunteers, so she has a hectic schedule, but maybe Jimmy can give you a music lesson. Or we could all have a jam session! Lydia loves the outdoors and will gladly take you on a hike or nature walk to show you more about California's ecology. We feel this is an important part of the CS community--learning, sharing, giving!
