CURRENT MISSION To Live the Life we Love!! ABOUT ME All about us...long story, but the short version is that we met on Match.com...yup, an actual success story. We are currently living our dream (well, sort of..if we didn't have to work our dreams would be fulfilled!!) We live on 80 secluded acres of land in a log home that we've built ourselves..okay, we didn't cut down the trees but that's the only thing we didn't do. We rescue dogs and usually have a whole bunch of them at our house but we also have a kennel so it's a very controlled environment. We have a small hobby farm with goats & chickens. Our place is comfortable, relaxing & quiet with a nice bar area that we call "The Purple Monkey Saloon". We love to travel & scuba dive as often as we can and love to meet new people that are fun & outgoing. PHILOSOPHY Some of our favorite quotes: Your Good Attitude + Your Good Choices = Your Good Life. "Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." Martin Luther King Jr. I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it. - Maya Angelou Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about. - Unknown You're never too old to learn something stupid. Everyone is gifted - But some people never open their package! Everything happens for a reason.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING New to couchsurfing...love the idea. My husbands family had "couchsurfers" years ago...they probably called them something different "way back then" but the idea is the same. Love the idea of sharing experiences with others that enjoy some adventure in their lives. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE None yet..hope to have some soon though.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most amazing thing we've done may be considered small by many, but to us, it's something that touches our souls and keeps us smiling...that one thing is rescuing & rehoming stray or unwanted dogs. Part of this includes educating the general public about overpopulation of unwanted animals & promoting spaying & neutering of all pets. We recently were in Mexico & swam with whale sharks (2nd time for us). What a great experience
Teach, Learn, Share
Love to learn anything that's interesting. Who knows what I'll learn next..I'm open for suggestions :)
