My husband and I recently decided to take a year long sabbatical to travel. Over the past two years we both spent 60 hours a week running two separate, high volume restaurants in the Phoenix area. We realized that while we enjoyed our roles we were not really living our lives but contributing to somebody else's dream. We put in an eight week notice and bought a 1974 vintage airstream. Our plan is to travel to the East coast sans airstream for a few weeks before setting off to Europe and then back for a nine month stint in the silver bullet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would love to meet new friends and enrich our travels by gaining new relationships. When we get back from Europe we plan on opening up our nomadic home to others as we have a pullout couch in our 31' airstream.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kelsey is a half way decent cook with a background in nutrition (but I know how to make not-so-nutritional food too). Jim Bob (yes that is what he goes by) is an exceptional story teller and entertainer. We both have a background in food and beverage but are looking to expand our knowledge.
