About Me

CURRENT MISSION

At this time , with the Covid 19 virus going around, we are practicing Social Isolation. What this means to us is that we are maintaining some physical distance with people. And we recognize the plight of travellers who may also want to socially isolate but need some space to do it in. So firstly, what we are prepared to offer is parking space, if you have a van or a self contained unit, or camping space if you are set up to camp. If you do not have camping gear, let us know and we will try to accommodate.
Other than that, we are probably not accepting guests in our House.

BUT having said all that, if you believe you have Covid 19, talk to us about possible isolated accommodation. We can’t offer nursing service, but may be able to offer some safer isolation space.

Now back to our regular programming.

We are a creative, caring couple mature couple. Vegetarian, LNT fanatics, In process of building an intentional sharing community.

ABOUT US

We, Kelly & Jonathon have recently moved to a nice large house in the forest, with Roxy the Great Dane. The Gypsy wagon & Boler trailer are parked outside as a couchsurfing space. We also have lots of space for RV's camping with out any hook up and tenting space too. There is a spare bedroom and office inside the house with it's own entrance available by donation, and cob house, that is completely off grid also available by donation.

PHILOSOPHY

uninhibited musical expression, bonfires, radical acceptance, recycling, small footprint, reuse..re-create and recreation !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW WE PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Happy to provide space for couchsurfers, campers and R.V's. We are mostly off grid so no hookups, and have acreage, so lots of places to camp and be private. We are located near a bus route and a short bike ride to ocean and village.
