We biked across South Korea in fall 2019 following the 4 Rivers Trail. It was a fun trip! The extra challenge was doing it with a 2 year old. She loved it though! I lived in Indonesia for a year and south India for about 6 months, both were very interesting (and sometimes challenging) experiences. Colin and I went on a short trip to Japan in the fall of 2016 and overall it was pretty amazing, especially the hot springs and public baths!

We took a hiatus from being active couchsurfers when we expanded our family. Now we are giving it a try again. Overall we have had wonderful experiences with couchsurfers both as hosts and guests.

Usually some food, coffee, tea; though it's good if guests bring their own food, especially if staying for longer than one night. We can recommend bike trails, restaurants and bars, and tell you how to get to some local hot springs. I usually prefer surfers who take an interest and want to get to know their hosts a bit, though sometimes if I am busy it's convenient if guests just use their room like a hotel and are fully self-sufficient. Good communication usually can ensure we are on the same page for this.
