I surfed in Scotland, Greece, Belgium, and France while I traveled around Europe in 2013, and more recently in Italy (2018). I've hosted a few surfers and surfed in the States. Almost every experience I've had has been incredibly positive and reminded me of the goodness there is in the world -- that's what I love about opening my home and sharing with others! I hope to one day be able to offer a comfortable place for travelers to rest their feet and enjoy home cooked meals.
