We're a family of four (husband, wife, two girls) who moved to Madison in 2016. We're goofy and loving. Mostly-vegetarian. Eco conscious. Just as confused as everyone else but open to talking about it. We ask that guests try to spend at least a little time with us on the day they arrive if at all possible—even just 15 minutes so we can meet each other. *NOTE: After some less than positive experiences with folks without references, we only host people with references and a positive history on Couchsurfing. Sorry to the newbies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing life with others feels better.

Amazing? That's a high bar! Nothing comes to mind but there's still time so keep your sunglasses handy. Oh, I know...my wife and I have managed to be (usually) happily married since 2011.
