Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finish the stuff we've started.
ABOUT ME
We are a gracious, friendly, and interesting mature couple. Willing to entertain guests, but they have to view all our travel pics. LOL We have built (still building) a house with a two bed room apartment on the 2nd floor with balcony overlooking the lake. This apartment is just for the use of guests. You can make it here by public transport but you'd want to stay for a while to make it worth the trip. About 3 hours by car from Detroit, MI. Much longer by bus.
PHILOSOPHY
We travel not for trafficking alone:
By hotter winds our fiery hearts are fanned.
For lust of knowing what should not be known
We make the Golden Journey to Samarkand JE Flecker
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We signed up while planning a RTW journey. We met some great people and still keep in touch. Never actually had to sleep on a couch.
Now we are able to entertain travelers as we were entertained by others on our travels. Still meeting great people.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Good.
Interests
enjoying life
- traveling
- blogging
Music, Movies, and Books
We liked the movie "Out of Africa" for instance. Still like In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. And just finished "Following the Equator" by Mark Twain, great tongue in cheek American humor.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
We still haven't done that most amazing thing yet. But we're working on it. We took 20 months to travel through 44 countries. Our travel blog is at: http://www.travelpod.com/members/yoni
And, oh yes, we built that building you see in the photos by ourselves.
Teach, Learn, Share
We're pretty good at light construction having built our own home (or homes). We know a bunch of other useless stuff too.
