Please keep riding and requesting. See you down the road!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share
We live in a very nice part of northern lower Michigan, lots of things to do and see, try it.
Please use the number 12 when requesting to surf here.

Biked across US in summer of 14, couchsurfing has been great. And Gaylord to Prince Edward Island then back to Key West in 2018.
Stayed with many wonderful people that opened your homes and hearts to me. Can't wait to get back out and met more surfers. What a positive experience; we have something special here boys and girls!! A beautiful community of caring people. Really enjoy talking to other surfers about there views of life and the world. Like many others say making the world smaller.
