About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Heading to NM for 3 months, then Guatemala for 2, then possibly Tacoma for 3. The adventure continues.

ABOUT ME

We're Todd and Denise, and we quit our normal jobs last year, and now travel 6 months a year, and work as contractors for the other 6 months. This way we not only get to play in amazing places, but we end up working in places we would probably never travel to.

PHILOSOPHY

We strive to make great things happen in our life, rather than wait for things to happen to us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some favorite couch moments. Denise being adopted by a family in Chile for a week, which she claims is a Spanish speaking Ireland (same latitude in reverse). The two of us, ending up on a friend of a friend's floor in Ireland, and spending a very long night with their adult children hitting the pubs, and an impromptu party at their house discussing our key dreams for the upcoming year. Drinking wine with the Prinicpal of the local school in Montalcino Italy, and discussing world events in Italian/Spanish/English. Being invited by a fisherman to have mussels at his campsite in Nova Scotia. It was 3 hours of great stories, fantastic mussles, and homemade wine.

Interests

Cycling, we do long distance touring. Hiking. Kayaking. Skiing. Sailing. We are both foodies, and love to cook and try new foods. When traveling we try to meet people and get off the beaten path.

Traveling the US West in an RV for two months, cycling and hiking.
