Just returned from a 6-month trip in Latin America and Europe, and we can’t wait to host again (June 2025)! We live in a charming rowhouse in Charles Village (a neighborhood in north central Baltimore) with our daughters (born Nov. 2013 and March 2015), and we have frequent guests (grandparent, friends, and Couchsurfers). Max is a family physician and Maya runs an urban specialty flower farm. We are passionate about the outdoors and the environment, social justice, crafting, food (growing, cooking, eating, and talking about it), cycling, hiking, camping, and community. We look forward to sharing these passions with you sometime soon. Our home is friendly towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and we expect our guests to be too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We really love meeting hosts when we travel and also welcoming people from all over the world into our home! In addition to Couchsurfing we also love hosting and traveling through Servas and Warm Showers and have had many wonderful exchanges. Maya has been a life-long Servas traveler beginning when she was 10 weeks old. Whenever possible, we prefer to stay with people and get to know the local area and culture.

Interests

We love hiking, biking, running, camping, cooking, growing flowers and food, crafting, and meeting people from different cultural backgrounds than our own.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking across the United States, Korea, and Japan, living abroad (Italy for Maya, Germany for Max), parenting, and growing some of our own food have all been amazing experiences.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Honduras, Italy
