CURRENT MISSION
To live simply and sustainably while saving money. We want to get outside more, enjoy the trees and meet new folks.

ABOUT ME

Hello, Yorge & Melissa here! We are folks that really like all aspects of community; the good, the bad and the ugly. We've traveled parts of Canada by living out of others' homes and we'd love to help you do the same! We think we're pretty dandy because we care about other people's quality of life, and want to make it better. We'd love to hear your story and help you create memories along the way.

PHILOSOPHY
We welcome, not exclude. We accept, not judge. We share hope, try to look on the bright side, and we fail. We're just keeping things simple, spiritual and sustainable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We offer a space to sleep, eat, re-caffeine, commune & be welcomed. We'll share what we have: knowledge of the area, things to do, places to go, people to meet and some good wholesome food. We love to share meals! Do you need to eat? Check! Vegan? Meatatarian? No worries! GF/DF/SF/SoF.... everything free? We've got you covered.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We traveled throughout Ontario & the West Coast by living in volunteers' homes a week at a time, so we have PLENTY of stories to share about living with strangers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
