ABOUT ME
WE are in our 50's and our daughter Sarah is 23. My son and family live in sunny Florida.We love driving down to visit. We have lived in Halifax almost 25 years in our one and only home which over looks the Bedford Basin of Halifax Harbour. We both became Christians in our 20's, shortly before we met each other.We've been married 24 years.We have been involved with helping international students learn English for the past 10 years.
PHILOSOPHY
We are at peace with our Creator and His creation. He showed us the way, the truth and the life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Our daughter Sarah started out with CS several years ago. We hosted her first surfer (Daniel) ourselves as Sarah was living in Hong Kong at the time. We consider Daniel a part of the family now,he has been back with us just recently and Sarah has visited him in Vienna.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We have yet to be 'surfers' ourselves. We have hosted Sarah's couch surfers at our home and now look forward to meeting others in our home and through our future travels.
Interests
I started golf about 5 years.I manage to make enough good contact to stay with the field, especially down in Florida. We both enjoy long walks, good English movies like Bleak House, Middlemarch. One of our favorite series is 'Road to Avonlea' and 'Anne of Green Gables'.
Mary loves to knit socks, sew aprons. They say John is a good pool player.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Mary does travel nursing to Nunavut and North West Territories in Canada, north of 60'. She's been to Ireland many times.
