We are an open, easy-going married couple. We enjoy a good adventure & love the great outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have hosted and surfed with some amazing individuals, and have enjoyed the fun opportunities, conversations, and friendships that have developed because of couch surfing. We have nothing but positive experiences to share.

Interests

We both enjoy spending time with family and friends. animals. nature. getting lost in a good book. making and listening to music. traveling and exploring. hiking. being active. playing games. eating good food. drinking good beer and wine.

Music, Movies, and Books

We both have a passion & a love for music, so we are open to any form of music (Jared is a musician, Rachel is really just a groupie).

We love watching documentaries and dramas. oh, and dark comedies.

Any book will do...Rachel is definitely a sucker for novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We truly believe the people, the sights, sounds, and the foods of any new culture are amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

Rachel is a therapist and WILL NOT being doing any therapy with couchsurfers :) But could offer some insights about the industry.

Jared can teach music as he plays the drums, guitar, ukulele, mandolin....the list goes on.

Both could teach English to those wanting to learn, and give insights on life in America/American culture.

We would like to learn new languages, learn about new cultures, learn how to play new instruments, make new food dishes, be introduced to new outdoors sports & activities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Genuine conversation and lots of laughs. Gratitude and appreciation. Respect and politeness. Also will bring a homemade tasty treat or a unique gift from our hometown! :)
