ABOUT ME

We are Paul and Megan Wilkes, our canine children are named pepper and rufus. We have creative jobs and live a pretty laid back lifestyle. We love entertaining people and love to share a meal and a glass of wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Do. Epic. Shit.
Also smile a lot.
Don't waste life, it's too short and too much fun for that.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a loft with a spare bedroom and we love where we live, so why not share it?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed our way from OKC to Utah one time. Looking forward to more experience within this community. In New Mexico our host gave us a great tour of the city and really made our travelling experience that much better.

Also hung out in Detroit, you should visit.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have seen Tibet, and not just Lhasa, I have seen the mountains of the small town of Shigatse. It is breathtaking, literally.

I have watched Oklahoma City grow in the past 5 years from a barely known town, to a full and booming community of wonderful people. I am proud that Foundry and myself are on the forefront of several aspects of this growth. I am so excited for our little city and it's future.

I have ridden a train around the North American continent with my old friend Jacob. We lived in hostels, under park benches, and in friends houses along the way. We lived life, we read a dozen books a piece, and we learned about friendship and survival in urban America.

Sorry, that's three? I couldn't decide.
