CURRENT MISSION

To try our best to leave the world improved in some way by our existence. Oh, and to see the whole wide world, or at least a decent chunk of it.

ABOUT ME

In 2013, we spent about three months backpacking around France, Spain, the UK, and Ireland, and then capped off the trip with a random Caribbean cruise. People often told us, "That's the trip of a lifetime!" We certainly hope not. It was a great time, don't get me wrong, but we don't plan on making that our one big adventure. Though we haven't done much traveling in the past year, we certainly hope to do more soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Faith, hope, and love.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We haven't been able to host much in the past year, and our couchsurfing profile/response rate got a bit out of date, but we may be able to take some guests now and will as much as we're able.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted a bit in 2013 and then stayed with a couple kind folks on our grand European adventure.

兴趣

We like to read books, ride bikes, take long walks and hikes, watch old movies, listen to good music, make and eat good food, make and drink good beer, and go on adventures.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

We walked the Camino de Santiago (Frances route, from St. Jean Pied-du-Port) in 2014. Met some amazing people, loved being outside all day long every day in every type of weather, and didn't even get too many blisters.

教，学，和分享

We (mostly Scott) know some things about baking (especially bread, but also pastry) and grammar (mostly Katie, English), and we're always happy to share and to learn more from others.
