CURRENT MISSION

Hike every canyon in the Tassili n'Ajjer, explore every river to the source in the Atlas, ski every remaining snow in North Africa, and capture on video that elusive Sahara Cheetah!

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A French news TV program was talking about it back in 2004, I immediately then signed in. We were only seven Alerians at that time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my hosting experiences were just awesome. Hosting for me and especially for the kids was a way to bring the world home when we don't travel!
