CURRENT MISSION

Moving to San Francisco!

ABOUT ME

We are both originally from Seattle and met in college. It turns out we were living parallel lives, but never meeting.

After college we went backpacking through Europe for 3 months. We then lived in the Virgin Islands for about a year, but believe it or not, there are only so many times you can go to the beach.

We got married on the white sands of Cinnamon Bay on St. John, August 12th, 2005.

We then lived in NYC for nearly 2 years, followed by a backpacking stint in Japan and China. We are now moving from Hawaii, our home for 3 years, to the City by the Bay! We're looking to meet other cool couchsurfers as well as new(ish)parents.

What can we say? We love travel and adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life and enjoy it to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering our couch and traveling to vouch for others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The experience of relying on the kindness of strangers is the best experience one can have trying to relate with this increasingly crazy world.

The best thing about couch surfing is meeting someone new and feeling like you already know them. You already have many things in common.

When we moved to Oahu, we went to a couple couch surfing events and met many great people that we are now friends with.
