CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as we can with our kids (while they still like us and want to be around us...until they turn 16!)

ABOUT ME

We are a family of 4 that love to travel and experience living in different countries, seeing how other cultures live and gaining new friends along the way. We are fairly laid-back with a go-with-the-flow attitude. Our kids are 5 & 3 and have a great travel mentality.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for today as much as you can, with the idea that I want to be around for a real long time! So I can't spend all my money in one place! Our kids are our priority right now, but they are excellent travelers and a lot of fun to be around. It's awesome to see the world through the eyes of a child.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

word of mouth... pass it on baby!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are new to couchsurfing. minus the friends who crash on our couch when they come to California for visit, or to check out Disneyland, we don't have any other experiences.

Interests

We love to travel and meet new people. We love spending time adventuring with our kids...while doing all that, we work over the internet to finance our adventures. We love sightseeing, beaches, backpacking, snorkeling, music, art, museums, cooking, new cultures, architecture, meeting people, and history.

We sponsor HIV orphans at the Agape House in Chiang Mai. It's an outstanding facility doing so much good! Avis and Roy Rideout have changed the world for these children.

Teach, Learn, Share

We've been many places and have much information to share. We would love to help with English or questions regarding travel to Canada or America.
