About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Nancy: Live a meaningful life

ABOUT ME

As we age, we are slowing down a bit, although still skiing and cycling. We are often away visiting our kids and grandkids. At home, we are active in our Presbyterian church, use the county recreation center a lot, do some volunteering, and enjoy dinner with friends.

Nancy has spent several winters teaching English and math in Tanzania and Rwanda while Dave spends his winters making turns in the Utah powder.

PHILOSOPHY

Nancy: There's more to life than meets the eye.
Dave: Seek good, be grateful, love life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have hosted and surfed several times and loved both aspects. The people we have met have been great.
We have discovered that our situation is best for people who have their own transportation.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have been sheltering sojourners all of our married life, just through friends of friends and meeting people at parks and ski-resorts, etc. It has been such an enriching experience that we are thrilled to increase our experiences through CS.
