CURRENT MISSION

To live in the moment, to travel the world with an open mind and to pay attention to the little things and the people around us

ABOUT ME

We decided to give up our couch for backpacks, lived in Japan, travelled in Europe, volunteered in South America and then came home. We got a house, got a dog and got married and were so happy to welcome couch surfers to our couch and along the way we got to meet some new people and pass on the amazing hospitality and generosity we experienced couch surfing.

We are welcoming a new little one to our family so our ability to host couchsurfers has been put on hold until we can figure out our groove. Enjoy Calgary!

PHILOSOPHY

changing the world is done by helping one person at a time. we may not always agree but we will try to always listen, consider and stand up for what we believe in.

Live simply, so others can simply live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We discovered couchsurfing while doing a little internet surfing...we were researching for our upcoming trip and stumbled upon this amazing project. We have been hosted many times and met amazing and generous people and now that we are home and settled we are looking forward to returning the hospitality we received.
