CURRENT MISSION

Exploring South America, immersing ourselves in the culture and people. Looking for opportunities to contribute, volunteer, make a difference.
ABOUT ME

We are both happy, outgoing, a force for good, positive and love empowering and intellectually stimulating conversations. Adventurous, responsible, someone you can count on.

PHILOSOPHY

Fulfillment is from giving, not getting. We gave it all away- to travel and experience the world and the people. Integrity is what makes our lives work and we believe in life with no limits!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to come to Rio for Carnival, and we want to experience it with locals. We were actually looking for an apartment to rent but they are all booked or out of our price range. We have friends that have hosted and said it was great, so we thought we would give it a try!

Interests

Since March 2013, my partner Bill and I have been living in South America. We like to meet new people, make new friends, and see the local culture. We do not want to be tourists, but travelers. We love personal self-development and our first date was a Landmark Education seminar. In July we walked on fire at Tony Robbin's Unleash the Power Within seminar. Stimulating conversations are what make a good day great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raised four sons; sold everything to travel the world. Paragliding over Medellin Columbia, volunteering at an orphanage in Peru, walking on fire, zip lining across the Amazon rainforest canopy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are fun, happy, and love life with all of it's ups and downs. Bill is one of the most inspiring people I know and has overcome huge obstacles yet smiles more than anyone I know-except me. We will enjoy hearing about your country, your culture, and hope to become long-time friends, and will share with you anything you are interested in that we know about!
