CURRENT MISSION

We moved from Iowa to Colorado about four years ago. We are very happy with the move.

ABOUT ME

I like people. Traveling while meeting people is the best way to go. We love having guests too.

PHILOSOPHY

Talk, share and laugh a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because there is no better way to travel then to meet with local people. The other benefit of couch surfing is to meet people traveling to my own community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined January, 2012. I have done similar surfing with Servas, which was like CS but pre-IT. With Servas we visited homes in several countries in Europe. My wife and I have had guests from Algeria, Turkey, France and Italy.
In 2014 I stayed with hosts in southern Louisiana.

In recent years finding hosts with CS has been tricky due to out-dated host information. We love being hosts and will go back to that when the Covid Virus issue subsides.
