Laura and Garrick here. We are currently traveling around the world! We sold all of our stuff and are living out of two carry-on sized backpacks from July 2017 - June 2018. We have a ton of travel tips and stories and look forward to connecting with others around the globe! We are an open-minded and considerate couple. We appreciate good conversation and meeting new people but are also fine with giving others their space. We appreciate anyone who is able to help us out by hosting us during our travels. In return, we will respect your home and can offer a helping hand, a cooked meal, beer and stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Laura and Garrick enjoy hosting and traveling. We love the idea of Couchsurfing as a way to be apart of a greater community of adventurous and spirited people. We are happy to share our reviews as guests from sites like Airbnb. We hope that we will have a good experience using Couchsurfing soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

We are constantly exploring new music, movies and books! We love the rolling stones, red hot chili peppers, bob dylan and other rock bands. We also appreciate classical music and chill music like glass animals and enya, the list goes on and on. We are currently reading Sapiens. Laura loved reading Memoirs of a Geisha. One of Garrick's favorite movies is Gladiator.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Laura has traveled to rural Kenya to work with the Maasai people concerning the current public health issues families face. Garrick was a part of the search and rescue effort during Hurricane Sandy. We guess we'll save the other amazing things for a future conversation!

Teach, Learn, Share

We have lots of stories to share from our life and we love listening to others stories. As far as skills to share, Laura is currently working towards her 200 hour hatha yoga certification and is already certified in Thai yoga massage. Garrick can share cooking, cocktail and sailing advice.
