I am a twenty-nine-year-old college student.
My Partner is a thirty-three-year-old school teacher.
We're a mated pair and have been together for just over a decade now.
For the past four years, we've lived in Austin, Texas, which is the longest we've lived anywhere in our adult lives.
It's a wonderful city with all sorts of great people to meet and foods to eat, but, the world is full of great people to meet and great foods to eat, so, it's time to hit the road.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

we want to see the world.
we want to meet you.

it is our intention to see the world over ten months, from August to June, 2016.
the entire world.

we're the kind of people who say 'yes' to just about anything.
have something stupid you've always wanted to do? we'll do it with you!

we're the kind of couch-surfers who like to hang out.
if we've sent you a request and you're too busy to make much time for us, that's totally fine. you'd be doing us a great big favor just by letting us crash on your floor and we can totally entertain ourselves and say out of your way if that's what you would prefer.
but, if we had our druthers, we're the kind of couch-surfers who like to hang out, so, let's go do something awesome or something terrible together!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

In our early twenties, we spent some time traveling around the States, living in a Volvo station wagon.
We've both grown fatter and softer in the intervening years, but, it would be nice to know we've still got what it takes to live out on the road.

On a non-travel note, we once fought a civil-rights lawsuit all the way to the United States Supreme Court. ask us about it, if that's your thing.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

One of us is pretty knowledgeable about the world, and would love to talk your ear off about history, politics and economics.
the other can sew, if you need anything mended.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

One of us is a not-bad cook and we'd love to prepare for you a tasting menu of our best dishes.
The other one can teach your school-age children about American social studies.
