ABOUT ME

We both have the travel bug and love spending time with people and learning about different languages and cultures. We like hanging out at the beach, hiking, walking around new places and helping out the community with our church. We are always willing to try whatever is common in local cultures and look forward to new experiences.

We are both clean and tidy people who don't smoke. We consider ourselves good and thoughtful guests. We love to have a good time but we aren't party animals. When we travel, we don't want the 'typical tourist trip' (although seeing the sights is always good) but we want to see the intimate local culture and connect with local people. When we host we want to show you our little world and collect our guests opinions on it.

Michelle likes cooking all types of food - American, Italian, Spanish, Mexican and Thai are the most common cuisine. Michael is good at adding his spice and flare to any of the dishes she creates.

Michelle grew up in Michigan, USA but has lived in Spain (Denia) and also spent some time in the Dominican Republic.

Michael lived abroad most of his life and has traveled extensively.
