CURRENT MISSION

"The most important trip you will take in life is actually meeting people half way"

ABOUT ME

We had our first European adventure back in June 2009. We traveled via train and bike, we couchsurfed, mostly camped, hosteled, and WWOOF'ed for three months.We both attended Saint Mary's University - Adam has a Bachelor of Arts while Jackie has a Bachelor of Commerce. We met when we were hired as editors for our school newspaper, The Saint Mary's Journal. Adam was the Sports Editor, and Jackie was the Business Editor (aka "MissBiz")Jackie is a serial entrepreneur and focuses on marketing and business development, and Adam is a Canadian Coast Guard Officer who is studying Nautical Science at the CCGC in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. We try to travel as much as possible, and frequently daydream about our next big adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

"Everyone I come across, in cages they bought;
they think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought;
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts;
I'm alive." (Eddie Vedder)

"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run...
there's still time to change the road you're on..." (Led Zeppelin)

"This is the strangest life I've ever known" (Jim Morrison)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS networks and events. Coffee or drink to chat - not able to host at the moment but look forward to it in the near future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We couchsurfed once in Dublin, Ireland in a cute little house shared between 4 friends. They were the most amazing couchsurf hosts we could have asked for. We can't wait to create more experiences with our own couchsurfers in the near future.
