CURRENT MISSION

We're just trying to get by and raise the chitlins at the moment

ABOUT ME

Combined we're not too shabbily traveled, but certainly aren't done with that task yet. We're friendly, considerate people hoping to meet the same around the globe. No grand aspirations really, just happy to have each other and a chance to see something new occasionally. If you enjoy the more relaxed, less party hardy type we might be a good bet. We do have 4 kids under the age of 11 though, so we are selective for safety and sanity purposes.

PHILOSOPHY

Jeff - It's better to have faith, conviction, and enthusiasm in something, but it's hard to find something worth having them in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Done a bit of both and most all experiences have been good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jeff - I was in Krakow on the night Pope John Paul II died, there were bells ringing for an hour all over the city. I was at the grand canyon on the first day of the millenium and that was cool. In Auckland when Sir Edmund Hillary died (beware if I'm staying in your town, your national hero will probably die)

Aga - Halloween in New Orleans - crazy!!

Teach, Learn, Share

1. realize everyone's worldview is susceptible to critique including your own.
2. realize that hypocrisy is the highest of disservices to one's belief
3. realize how hard it is for someone to remain steadfast in one's convictions without faltering.
4. realize that even if you climb the Mt. Everest of your dreams, if you don't have someone to call to tell the news it doesn't mean as much
5. Realize that other's opinions/advice are worth consideration, but that in the end you need to do it in your own way.
