ABOUT ME

We are a happy couple. Andrew is a curious problem solver, funny, supportive, caring, thoughtful. Linda is outgoing, likes nutritional health, loves to travel and, host and meet people, mostly her new granddaughter. We've traveled a lot, but not too far recently, and we love being together. We try to be responsible stewards of our community, region, Earth.

PHILOSOPHY

To tread softly in our homes. Kick up dirt for planting green, eating good food around grand table with family and friends. Live in luxury shared with adventurous and stupendous family, off grid, in comfort, with my darling love, free as a bird with a view of the ocean.
Like to help where i can, teach youth to be better stewards of our planet, plant trees, market-garden, smell roses, play music, sing songs dance and be joyous, draw, work in leather, copper, glass, clay or the old fashioned paper mache.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Make new acquaintance friendship, share and learn about how others live in their country, experiences they have from travels and food.
Establish new lasting friendships.
Give of my time and labour to help others think outside-of-the-box, prep for food with children and stay a while and do some handyman activities around your house or home.

Grateful for opportunities to learn share and enjoy fine company in hearts of new friends.

Thank you for hosting.

Many times we think too deep and then we find we miss an opportunity to make an acquaintance with someone new and possibly exciting, vibrant and ever so charming, then they turn out to be chivalrous, generous and kind beyond your wildest imaginations, and hadn't we been so foolish to think that we didn't need that encouragement and uplifting story to help us that week.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything good and hearty, tear-jerker, soul searching, and loving, near water or mountains. My mother Hazel always said "you have to see out to have vision and gain wisdom". Bless her soul R.I.P. She is forever with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swum with dolphin, in presence of pink dolphins, rescued swimmers and sailors off Durban ZA surf. Been alone to darkest Africa in Ghana.

Taught children how animals learn and share from their parents.

Teach, Learn, Share

What do you like most about water?
What is it about money that's important to you?
How has water influenced your life?

How will you teach a child to swim?

Lets start there for conversation.
