ABOUT ME

KEN: My name is Ken. I'm 44 years young and have lived in Seattle for the past 30 years (less my college stint in Arizona) and have finally had enough rain. I run my own email marketing business (http://www.emailbroadcast.com) so I can work anywhere and decided to choose San Luis Obispo after visiting during our 6 month honeymoon we spent traveling the USA. My numerous hobbies include: fly-fishing, photography, skiing, playing guitar, sailing, golfing, and most of all traveling.

MOLLY: I quit my fancy hotel job to travel around the world with Ken! I love live music, peanut butter, adrenaline rushes, argyle socks, & being outside. Really can't stand apathy or ginger. I grew up in Montana, so I consider myself "tough" but am also a sucker for a hot shower. Went to school on the East Coast and promptly came back to the West for a little laid back chi. Love Seattle. A complete extrovert, I only dig meeting new people when you actually get the chance to learn something true about them.

PHILOSOPHY

Be your authentic self.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've been lucky enough to host some fabulous couchsurfers in the past few months, but now we're on the other side... We are traveling around the world from May 2007-May 2008. Sure to be an adventure!

For more on our itinerary, check out web.mac.com/mollyandken (oops that website died since our laptop got ripped off in costa rica...) Try our new travel blog-- www.mollyandken.wordpress.com

2013 - Update. Ok, we just got inspired and renewed our couchs surfing account. Since we survived our round the world trip, we decided to make these permanent and got married. Then we had an adorable boy. We're now ready to invite some more characters into our life via couchsurfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've been hosts and surfers. When we surf, we like to get a real sense of who you are and the city/country/farm/collective where you live.
