ABOUT ME

We lived overseas for about 7 years. In 2012 we returned to Canada to see how to live in our home country again. We live in small spaces - sometimes a yurt, sometimes a small house and move fluidly between country life and city life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since we have lived as volunteers in many places we are used to travelling with a small budget and have found that these types of travel experiences are more rich and interesting. We use CS to find affordable places to stay and colourful characters to get to know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have used CS while travelling in Kenya and San Francisco.
