CURRENT MISSION

To find a home with a guestroom and move on to the next great adventure!

ABOUT ME

(We will now proceed to write quick blurbs about each other):

>Stacey is very open-minded, accepting, loving and kind. Her jokes are horrible but it's hard not to laugh at them anyway. She loves to try new things, especially food. A good Christian girl this one. Quite a catch.

>Tony is the nicest person I know. He really is. He knows how to bring a genuine smile to anyone's face regardless of how crappy they are feeling, and he is extremely supportive of odd habits, jokes and ideas. Including his own.

We are definitely the kind of people that you want sleeping on your couch. Or whose couch you would want to sleep on.

PHILOSOPHY

On a personal level? Isn't this is an answer better experienced than limited to words? Some people just have the knack to describe their answer so understandably well, but we would rather you get to know us and then decide for yourself who we are.

Note: our dream dog is a Newfoundland dog. That might tell you a bit more about us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As for now, being some-time surfers and occasional CS hosts [with plenty of non-CS hosting], we are helping to build the CouchSurfing community by recommending it to other responsible backpackers and by treating our hosts and their property with respect, repaying their kindness as we can with story swapping, good conversation, and honest reviews... trying to keep CouchSurfing a positive experience for all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-Stayed with Lisi Southey in London for 3 days (2007).
-Stayed with Paul Trausner in Graz, Austria for 1 night (2007).
-Hosted Paul Trausner in Victoria, BC for 1 night (2009).
-Stayed with Dave Bakker and Meghan Allen in Westbank, BC for 3 nights.
-Often stay with Evie and Kyle Loree in Edmonton, AB for a night here or there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies (limited to 3 of the top picks):
-Memento
-Inception
-Mary Poppins (Stacey only)

(and Kickass kicked ass, may we say)

Music:
Good- Jack Johnson, Queen, The Beatles, Ben Harper, Michael Jackson (back in the day), Maroon5, Plain White T's, ... most music, really.
Bad- Twangy country, hip-hop, rap, R&B. Raunchy jazz makes our ears bleed. Smokey jazz is better.

-Lord of the Rings
-Anne of Green Gables (Stacey only)
-Many, many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Stacey skydived through a cloud, a rare experience for a first-timer.
-Tony hitchhiked across Canada with a sign on his pack proclaiming "I Don't Kill", which is how he met Stacey.

-Both of us have explored glacier caves in the Alps, hiked up some moderately-sized mountains, swam with several thousand small live jellyfish, made a goat smile at us, got our arms swallowed by a baby elephant in India (then given back to us), snorkeled in Thailand, Vietnam and Japan, avoided getting stabbed in Hanoi, and hiked several smoking volcanoes in Japan.
