CURRENT MISSION

To live an amazing life full of travel, adventure and love.

ABOUT ME

** We just moved to Ft Collins, CO and will slowly begin accepting guests as we get settled into our new home. **

We're a really fun and laid-back couple that likes exploring new cities around the world. When we're not playing board games, reading in a park or participating in book exchanges, we love bar hopping around town, meeting locals, and experiencing new cultures.

We got married in January, 2016 :)

PHILOSOPHY

Everything and anything can be enhanced with love and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We began surfing and hosting in 2014 and are really excited to be a part of this amazing community. We look forward to hosting and meeting new people on our travels around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have couchsurfed during road trips in the US (Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina). In 2014, we spent two months in Africa and had amazing CS experiences. In 2015, we surfed in Belgium with an awesome family.

We also had the great opportunity of hosting surfers and found that experience just as rewarding as traveling. If you ever want to visit Fort Collins, Colorado, please just let us know. We'd love to be your perfect hosts!

Teach, Learn, Share

We would love to participate in a book exchange with you. What kind of books do you enjoy?

Let's share recipes and cook together.

We're always up for a hike or interested in playing sports.

Board games? We accept your challenge!

We've recently been educating ourselves on beers from around the world. If you have a favorite local beer, please let us know and we'll pick some up and share a few drinks while we get to know each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation and a valuable cultural exchange. We joined Couchsurfing to meet friends from every corner of the world, not to get free accommodations. We value open and honest friendships, so please let us know if we can help with the cost of groceries, auto fuel, or anything else that you are generous to share with us during our stay.
