We are currently part of the working class that desires more travel than we are allowed. We love to learn new things and meet new people and look forward to hosting and sharing travel stories. Christine has travelled to many parts of the world and is fluent in Spanish and English. Mark has travelled all over the United States and has both surfed and hosted on Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet other travelers. Hear their stories. Mark has enjoyed Couchsurfing since 2011 and would like to share the experience with Christine. Ruby is now 5 and has hosted since birth! Christine and Ruby are still awaiting their first opportunity to surf.

Favorite music usually involves some good fiddlin or banjo pickin.

Movies are usually ten years old by the time I see them and then I mix them all up anyways.

Love all music. Trained for years as a classical violinist, but recent favorites include Lisa Morales, LP and Devil Makes Three.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can cook a mean meal and do fine job of cleaning up. Do a pretty decent cocktail or two as well. Good for a couple of cheesy jokes and a few wild stories.
