CURRENT MISSION

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy mackeral...what a ride!"

ABOUT ME

We are young retirees, who have exchanged our home and automobiles through "Vacation Exchange" with folks in Belgium,Germany , Vancouver Island, Canada and Mexico.
We have had wonderfull experiences doing this , so we felt we might try couchsurfing.

My wife Anne, enjoys traveling , learning Spanish and ethnic cooking.

I, Bob, enjoy windsurfing, playing tennis, body surfing, biking, learning kitesurfing ,
learning creative writing and discussing world affairs. As well , I enjoy traveling and eating Anne's delicious cooking.

We would have a double bed with its own private bathroom in both our northern home in Ottawa , capital of Canada and in our southern home in Destin , Florida overlooking the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the unbelievably white sandy beaches.

We are in our northern home from May 1 til Oct 30 and in our southern condo from Nov 1 to Apr 30.

In our working lives , Anne was a French teacher and I was an Economist.
