CURRENT MISSION

To live lightly on the earth

ABOUT ME

There are five of us. Papa works in the construction trades, Mama is in school again studying sociology, Eric is into horses and soccer, Dominic is into anything to do with cars or being out in the wild, and Micah just loves to go all the time.

PHILOSOPHY

We are Christian Pluralists, by which we mean that we are strongly lead by the teachings of Christ, but do not believe that people who are led by other teachings or by no teaching at all are going to hell (or are even mildly disliked by God)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are most available for coffee, drinks, or meals for passersby. A couch is not out of the question, but you would have to accept precious little privacy, and a typically untidy house. If you can deal with that we'll see what we can do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had long semi-nomadic periods as a family, so we have stayed with friends or family on a couch basis. Before the fam, there were multiple instances of couch surfing on both Mama's and Papa's side.

Interests

We love good food (especially when shared with others), camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing,meeting new people of all cultural backgrounds, reading and learning almost anything new.
