CURRENT MISSION

everyday a new adventure

ABOUT ME

We live in Freeport, Illinois where Marli works part time on her family's farm, and Nick works full time as a project manager. We both love to be outdoors, to work with our hands, to maintain open minds, and to have fun every day!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love traveling and are interested in learning about new cultures while at the same time sharing what we know! We don't live in a very touristy part of the country so don't get many requests to hosts, but are still excited to be a part of the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've had wonderful experiences staying with hosts in various countries, and sometimes just meeting up with a couch surfer for a meal and to learn about their city/country.

Interests

Outdoor adventures (hiking, snowboarding, kiteboarding, camping, etc.), cooking healthy and delicious food, yoga, growing our own food, music, spending time with family and friends.
