About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit, meet new people, and see new places while helping others do the same.

ABOUT ME

I'm (Mike) a Coast Guard Officer and Keri is in Human Resources. We have lived in Oswego NY, San Francisco CA, Elizabeth City NC, Clearwater FL, Ghent/Norfolk VA, Dunedin, FL, and Charleston, SC. Keri has spent time in Manhattan and upstate NY. While I spent much of my time in California, Wisconsin, and the East Coast.

We are not late night crazy partiers... We have a toddler. We'd much rather come home after a great meal and have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and get to know our surfers or hosts.

I hate trying to describe us, our surfers and friends have the better description, and you might be able to add to it when you get to know us!

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. – Tim Cahill

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Any way we can. If the couch is showing as available or maybe, we are probably up for hosting if we can, even if its last minute requests. Don't be afraid, click that request button!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First used the site to crash with a host when we were moving to VA who later became a great friend. We have been hosting and surfing ever since! One of our surfers even went on to be the officiant at our wedding...

Couchsurfing has brought many amazing people into our lives, however briefly. Some stay for a few days, others only for a cup of coffee, but all of them have been great. We are greedy when it comes to friends. We want more.

Interests

We tend to have ADD, so... lots of things.

  • wine
  • coffee
  • drinking
  • surfing

  • business

Music, Movies, and Books

Intriguing nerdy stuff... Educational Documentaries that apply to real world issues.
