CURRENT MISSION

Be useful and enjoy ourselves

ABOUT ME

We met at a co-ed boarding school in the south of England when we were 13 years old. Excepting some minor excursions, we have been together ever since - about 58 years.

In 2007-2008 we were in the US Peace Corps in the Republic of Georgia and returned there after the Russian - Georgian conflict to finish our projects as private volunteers. We are considering further volunteer service.

We love music, adventure and meeting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have couch-surfed in Greece and France. We stayed with a wonderful family in Greece on our way to Georgia and stayed with the same family on our way back from Georgia; it was a great start to our couch-surfing experience. Subsequently, we stayed at two couches in France and, again, the experiences were delightful.

We have now returned to New York where we have hosted a surfer from France. We have not yet settled in properly - we still have many boxes to unpack and so the bedroom we had intended for surfers is full of boxes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have done a fair amount of traveling. Besides a Peace Corps stint in the Republic of Georgia, we have have spent a lot of time in South America (including the Galapagos, Peru, Argentina and Mexico), and visited Zambia, Iceland, South Africa and China - to name but a few. We have crossed the US in a VW camper and have driven by car from the UK to the Republic of Georgia and back.
