CURRENT MISSION

Explore new worlds (where man has gone before) and meet fun people from around the world

ABOUT ME

We are a fun loving trio, who love animals in pairs ...we have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 fishtanks, and 2 gerbils. We like music, our daughter plays oboe, flute, and marimba and Dad plays drums, guitar, keyboard, etc. Water sports are enjoyed as we live in hot Florida. We are also fans of Gators (both kinds).

PHILOSOPHY

Love the earth and all of its creatures. Tread lightly and leave the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've surfed with several fabulous hosts who truly enhanced our visits to their area, most recently in Scandinavia. We enjoyed meeting everyone we have hosted too, so it has been a great experience all around. We also made a donation to help keep this great system going.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Long ago, we couchsurfed a bit in Europe (pre internet)
