Hello! This is a new account as I cannot access my old one. I have been hosting couchsurfers for years in our Parksville home. If you stay with us you can expect a busy(ish) household with dogs and a cat. We both offer and expect kind, respectful behavior. This is a family home so if that's not your thing, move along to the next host please. No drugs at all. No smoking on our property.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As world travelers ourselves we understand the costs and also the homesickness! We live in a beautiful but touristy area and don't think it's fair that it can be really cost prohibitive to enjoy it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many things! I find this section really weird because humans are pretty amazing so it would be hard to narrow it down to one. I'm pretty proud of my life in general!
