Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We hosted some, though not as much as we'd hoped. Now that we're traveling we will look for friendly faces as we approach new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've surfed and hosted and had wonderful experiences with each. "For all it's sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a wonderful world. Many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is filled with heroism." The words of Desiderata still ring true!

Interests

We love our children, grandchildren, hiking in the mountains, riding bicycles, and making music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The birth of our children tops the list. Hiking in Patagonia and taking the Austral Cruise from Punta Arenas to Cape Horn was a hoot. Hiking in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was also fantastic.
