We're pretty laid back folks. When we have time we're out camping and hiking. Indoors, we're nerds who love board games and coffee. Kate speaks a bit of Spanish, but I'm pretty useless with languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Keep spreading the word about couchsurfing! We're still trying to convince family that sleeping on strangers' couches that we found on the Internet isn't as crazy as it sounds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A year after my first couchsufing in Japan, I ended up moving to Osaka. Since then I enjoyed hosting quite a few travelers. Though I don't know if any of them later moved to Japan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing we've done so far has been living out of our backpacks for a year. The hardest part was finding a clean pair of socks.

Teach, Learn, Share

If we have enough time, I'd love to share most everything I know about photography. I have my SLR along if you're a visual learner. Also, I have plenty of patience for teaching web design techniques. I can help get you started on a Wordpress blog, small online store, or maybe a photo album for yourself. Just don't ask us how to cook.
