CURRENT MISSION

Tea

ABOUT ME

Our days revolve around cups of tea, between which we may find that we have been deemed suitable to nap on by one of our cats; or explore the beautiful and diverse nature we are blessed with in California; or find friends to share good food, good local beer/wine, and play scrabble. We are also known to nurture addictions to specific tv shows.

PHILOSOPHY

"Have a good time all the time."
-Viv Savage

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our home is a safe space for folks who identify as LGBTQ+. We have been on both sides of the couch. We love the community and hope that it is always there. We are glad to be part of it and help however and whenever we can.

We surfed in 2007, 2008, and 2010 in various parts of Europe. We have hosted in the US to people from all over the world.
