CURRENT MISSION

Living the dream. Staying young. Spreading smiles.

ABOUT ME

Sam - I am a lifelong learner, a gregarious introvert, and a jill of all trades.

Sarah - I like good stories, old bikes, and animals dressed as humans. Also, I have been known to mumble heartily, particularly in my sleep.

PHILOSOPHY

"The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of it."

-Dear Sugar (aka Cheryl Strayed)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We want YOU (interesting, open-minded, warm-hearted, adventurous individual) to come meet us!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sam - I had my first CouchSurf experience in January 2013 in Northern Cali - my two cousins and I were taken in by a friend Dan just to let us crash at his place for a night. Though the stay was brief, it was an awesome experience. What a friendly, helpful guy.

CS Adventure #2 occurred in June 2013, when my sister and I desperately needed a soft surface to rest on before our Tough Mudder in Avon, Colorado. Phil and his roommates were so rad! Spent the evening in the company of a laid-back, talented, and full personalities. Obviously my sister dominated (read: were destroyed by) the Mudder.

We look forward to being able to host and provide the same experience for other Surfers. You, dear reader, perhaps?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sam has memorized 30 digits of pi. (Which she will recite upon personal request from any/all Couchsurfing guests.... talk about incentive!!!)

Sarah has effectively and gradually eradicated her severe allergies over a grueling, years-long process of allergen injections. Just ask her for more information on this mind-blowing feat. (UPDATE: it turns out that allergen injections are kind of a sham.)
