Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Myself and two of my kids were hosted by an amazing family while they had a sports camp in the city- the were the ultimate host- lots of good lessons for me.
At this time we are open for short stays and they need to be pretty independant as our schedules are crazy at time. Prefer a few people (couples, group of friends, or girls due to our family dynamics) though we just hosted 3 great guys...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteered 5 weeks in Nepal with our then 10, 9, 8 and 6 year old. Lived a basic Ghandian style life in the children's home...

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveled lots when single, in my 20's and have traveled with kids to places like Nepal, Hawaii, Belize, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Mexico. Though it's completely different travel it is no less on an adventure. As the kids get busier and I get sleepier, trying to make home more of a base but maybe hosting will help keep us in touch :)
