Margaret and I are usually busy staying busy. Our small home is slowly being upgraded and there is always something to work on as we can afford it. Margaret works as a school counselor and has school teacher hours. I am in the air guard and don't work full time right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to have money to see the world. But now I don't. So I like having the world visit me. Margaret started hosting after we got together and she loves it.

Interests

I make beer, I cook, and I like taking long walks or drives when I can afford the fuel. Margaret knits and runs (a lot).

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music that is not too harsh. Favorite books are Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Catcher in the Rye. Margaret has a lot of books and movies. She really likes Star Wars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Margaret went punting on the Cam at Cambridge. I walked to Granny Henderson's cabin from Jasper.

Teach, Learn, Share

Too lazy to teach, too old to learn, and too poor to share...so I do all three poorly. Thanks for pointing that out. Margaret is actually a professional educator.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a very nice queen sized bed in a private room, but if we double book you may end up on the couch or floor. We also have air mattresses (1 queen sized; 1 twin) that can be used as needed for larger groups or if we are double booked. The couch has a queen sized pull out bed too. We strive to inform everyone if there is a risk of double booking and make sure everyone knows what is going on so there are no surprises.
