CURRENT MISSION

Get settled in a new place.

ABOUT ME

We've been happily married since 2005. Most of the time we're homebodies but we did go travel for a year and hope to do it again some day. We keep plenty busy with ever changing hobbies and our pet rats.
Currently we're pretty strictly following the Paleo diet, which means we eat meats, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and not a whole lot else. We do make the occasional dark chocolate exception, though. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Tim: Don't work any more than you have to.
Danielle: No one is perfect, but I try to be the best "me" I can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've been hosted by people around the world, and have hosted a few ourselves. It's always been a great experience.

Interests

Tim: I enjoy slacklining, traveling, swing dancing, playing harmonica (I'm very much a beginner), electronics projects, photography, playing with pet rats, computer programming, hiking, snorkeling, reading, ultimate frisbee. It changes a lot, though. I tend to be really into something for a week to several months, and then jump onto something else.
I'm of course interested in all those activities. I also really enjoy learning about nature, with particular emphasis on what unique adaptation each species displays.
Danielle: Jogging, biking, swimming, hiking, walking through our local wetland or along the beach, knitting, reading, camping, swing dancing.
