About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making memories to last a lifetime. Experience the most we can during the honeymoon phase before settling down to have a family. Living life with no regrets.

ABOUT ME

We got married, quit our jobs, sold all of our stuff, and left the country to chase summer on a nine month honeymoon around the globe.

We're both looking for ways during our travels to start careers that better the planet/society more so than climb the corporate ladder.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the most of our short time on this earth. Life is made up of good, bad and neutral experiences to live you have to go through them all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now we love meeting all the new people from different walks of life and truly appreciate their hospitality. However, when we get home we can't wait to get a house/apartment with a spare bedroom to host other surfers. Returning the hospitality we receive while traveling and meeting new people sounds like a great way to 'travel' within your own home on any given night.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't surfed a couch yet, just used the old school version called SERVAS: http://joomla.servas.org/

Interests

Both of us love traveling (obviously) but when we're at home we enjoy spending time in the outdoors. We're big snowboarders, wakeboarders, runners, hikers and campers. We love to have people over for good beer, wine, food and company. Heather loves to cook and Matt loves auto-racing and photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

Arrested Development is the greatest television show ever created! Our music interests vary from Gypsy Kings to Bloc Party to Face to Face. Been reading whatever we can get our hands on lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Naked tandem bungy jumping for our first Valentines Day with proof provided by the local Canadian news.

Teach, Learn, Share

We believe we are in the learning phase of our lives. We want to learn what the world has to offer and how other people live. As a newly married couple we are forming an idea of what we want our life to be.
