Spring 2022, Christina, my daughter, 27, is traveling in Europe and seeking fun, safe hosts with whom she can share stories, meals and some fun times!
We have lived in California the past twenty something years. Seeking to know, respect and understand other cultures and people from all walks of life!

Christina is also open to helping on farms and country living opportunities!
We have stayed with several couch surfing hosts and enjoyed them all very much. One of the couples that stayed with us in SF were not prepared for the very cold weather in San Francisco in June.
They cooked delicious foods of Indonesia. We look forward to hosting summertime guests in our Eastern Canada home, especially in the summer, when there is more for you to do.

ABOUT US
We are genuinely interested in people's stories, their lives, and why they think what they do. We are easy going and non-judgmental!

PHILOSOPHY
We are here to share knowledge and learn from others, and teach others to have a healthier, happier, more fun life!!

Our family consists of a son, Jimmy 29 and daughter, Christina 27 .

We welcome guests, to our North Bay home, who would like to experience a chilly Northern climate, swimming in a fresh-water lake, and don't mind mosquitos! The snow starts as soon as mid-September until April.

Summer 2022, we hope to put in big gardens and welcome guest-workers to our gardening project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We look forward to hosting more guests! We are now living in Northern Ontario. In Canada, where you can cross country ski in the winter!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We've had Fantastic couch surfing experiences!! We like to contribute to your household or buy groceries or dinners.

By staying with locals we have the opportunity to know what's really going on in a town. That's what's most important, to meet locals and understand the unique culture of a place!
