CURRENT MISSION: To meet and learn from people all around the world.
ABOUT BOB AND ME: We enjoy having CS guests, but be sure to read our profile. If you are interested in staying with us, tell us why you want to meet us.
IMPORTANT FYI: Mary Lou is called Mary Lou or ML but is never called Mary. Bob speaks Finnish and English.
ML's PHILOSOPHY: I strive to expect the best from everyone and intentionally choose to be unsuspicious and unafraid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has enriched our trips and our lives more than we thought possible. We are eager to be both hosts and guests, but have our preferred style of couchsurfing.
* Make surfing arrangements at least a couple of weeks in advance.
* Follow CS tips and guidelines: complete profile; personal request to us, etc. Merely saying you like our profile or we look interesting does not count as personalizing your request.
