Hey Travellers! If you send a request I am having trouble responding. I can find the chat access on my phone but on my computer, it doesn’t appear. I usually respond 100% of the time. We will be traveling all summer so you can request in June but we will be away in July and August. Not sure how to block my calendar for days away. We travelled Feb 2024-August 2024 to Africa and Asia. A dream adventure we were lined up to do in 2020, when, well you know what happened. Four years later all four of us opened our schedules to go! Despite our busy work schedules, and out of town family visits, we love to welcome travellers into our home. We have hosted and been hosted many times and it has shaped who we are as a family. Couchsurfing is a meaningful, enjoyable part of our life. About us: We are a family of four who love traveling and being active. Our go to activities are x-c skiing and hockey in the winters, hiking and biking in the summer. We prefer hosting 1-3 nights so we are able to host more of you. For those of you asking for 1-2 weeks or months, this is not what Couchsurfing is to us, so please look elsewhere. If you have read this far, thank you. When you request to stay with us call me Wheely. We would also like to know something about you and why you think we would be a good match for Couchsurfing. Enjoy your travels!

La meilleure aventure, c'est...
backpacking. I love waking up and not knowing where I will sleep that night. Just go with the flow, spend as much of it with locals and nature.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
When I was in my mid-20's I used a program called Servas in Europe and it was wonderful to have a quiet place to stay away from travellers every once and awhile. It re-energized me for the road ahead. In 2016, my husband Chris and two sons (14 and 11 years old at the time) travelled though Central and South America for 7 months. Before we left we hosted many families/solo travellers and have now been hosted by 24 lovely families/individuals from every country we visited. We are grateful for this opportunity and would like to live vicariously through you until we can travel again. Please send us your request but tell me what your favourite type of food is so I know you have read our profile. If you are staying more than one night it would be nice if we make the first dinner and you make the second. Couchsurfing has become an important part of our lives. We embrace all who we host and who have hosted us. It is so much more than a free place to stay. We are interested in sharing stories and learning about you and your culture. We have two wonderful kids who have shared these experiences with us. Everyone who meets them is impressed by their ability to talk to adults and be a part of the hosting experience. Traveling has helped them mature into the two young men we are very proud of. My final request is to mention all four of our names in your email to us. The boys are Jackson (22)… at university and Scott (19)… still travelling!
Musique, films et livres
We like just about everything. The boys could rattle off more artists than I could.
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Jumped out of a plane, and I won't do it again! Backpacked across Central and South America for nearly seven months January-August 2016! Amazon, Galapagos, San Blas Islands, Salt Flats, Machu Picchu, The Olympic Summer games, Death Road, Chicken Buses, Sandboarding, Volcano Boarding, Paragliding … are among the memories jumping out at me right now! Renovated and RV with our family and traveled across Canada and back in the summer of 2019. Feb-Aug 2024 Africa and Asia backpacking
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
We loved being able to introduce our boys to the world. In 2011 we did a family exchange to Australia and immersed ourselves in the community there. We've travelled across Canada, western USA, Mexico, Fiji and New Zealand with the boys. When they were a bit older it was time to go beyond the comfort travelling and just put on our backpacks and go! We spent 7 months in Central and South America and I treasure the experience with our boys. The summer of 2018 we Couchsurfed and camped in Europe for 64 days. Belize and Guatemala was our destination for the Christmas holidays. The summer of 2019 was a cross Canada trip in an old RV. 2024 - Chris and I returned to work after nearly 6 months in Africa and Asia (part of this was as a family, some solo and another bit with just mom and son). Jackson and Scott are travelling again! Good times are back! We are always dreaming about our next adventure and look forward to hearing about yours!!!
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
If we request to stay with you we would love to share a bottle of wine (or a cup of tea!), a meal and swap traveling stories. There are still so many places we would like to visit. Hopefully we will inspire each other to follow our dreams and live life to its fullest.
Mes centres d'intérêt
The family - hiking, biking, hockey, camping, x-c skiing, anything outdoors Wendy - add triathlons! I competed in Ironman Whistler July 26, 2015 and therefore love endurance sports.
