Hi! My name is Alicia. Chad and I, and have been married for 24 years. We were best friends for seven years before we got married and we still are! Because of our personal journey, we try to get the most out of life and leave everyone a little better than we found them!
Braxton is 22 and enjoys anything that has to do with history, Asian Culture, and travel. He has an old soul and has autism. He loves video games, museums, flea markets, books with pictures, exploring and calm adventures.
Hannah is 21 and is a competitive cyclist that also enjoys art, creating and wild adventures.
Hannah is currently working remotely for a company in Santa Barbara while starting a medical company and developing her invention that is patent pending.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

We are "Couchsurfing" to allow Hannah to have the opportunity to race and develop as a cyclist. As a previous Make A Wish kid, she has endured a lot and both her and Braxton hope to have a chance to catch up on some life experiences and family adventure that they missed out on.

兴趣

We love to travel as a family, and also enjoy helping others. One of these days we'd like to go back to the Philippines and serve others. It was the most rewarding thing we have ever done and certainly changed the way I view life. We love to experience things that are different and interesting.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like autobiographies and watching anything that teaches me how to be better at life than I am now. I have a wide variety of interests but am naturally drawn to topics that pursue a growth mindset.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

We became "family" to 27 troubled teenage boys over a seven year span through therapeutic foster parenting. That was a very challenging yet rewarding experience that forever changed us. Our home is still a revolving door to these young adults that still call us "mom and dad".

教，学，和分享

We love to learn about nearly anything! I always gravitate to the most interesting or unusual experiences. We have an interesting life that has been was full of extreme challenges. We always hope to leave everything around us better than we found it. We have learned a few things that have helped us assist others in solving challenges in life.
