CURRENT MISSION

living gently on the earth; learning, exploring....never being limited by not having enough...

ABOUT ME

We spend summers in Nova Scotia, winters in Mexico. Our grown up kids are scattered.
Our great pleasures are in friends & family, travel with a purpose, reading, theatre, music, art, architecture, poking about in the garden, sharing good meals, renovating old buildings.

PHILOSOPHY

Currently we are both involved in the "Occupy Wall St." movement; learning, analyzing, communicating; hopefully leaving a less materialistic life; cherishing the planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting travellers to our part of the world by offering short-stay accommodation, insights into local life, landmarks, and events. Opportunities to meet new people, explore a different life style.

We speak French and Spanish, love to practice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We host travellers to Nova Scotia in summer time. So far we have couch-surfed in the US, England, Ireland, and Spain. The opportunity to share family life in a foreign country, albeit briefly, has totally enriched our travel experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

We've had great experiences with a wide range of people. We host couch-surfers at our summer home in Nova Scotia, where we can kick back, cook, and have long conversations over a shared meal.
