ABOUT ME

We love taking adventures together to new places we've never been. We go to Africa at least once a year and take others there with a philanthropic tourism business we've created. We're eager to learn new things, especially non-touristy aspects of places that help us understand what life is like in that corner of the world. We are up to try new foods, wines, music, theater, etc...basically anything that helps us understand the culture we are visiting and takes us out of our comfort zone.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel and Learn...Learn and travel. Then swim in the Ocean. Goodnight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are new hosts for Couch Surfers in Austin to reciprocate the generosity that others showed to us when we traveled to Spain. We love Austin and look forward to helping others get a chance to see all the wonderful things Austin offers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are new to the couch Surfing world. Our recent (Sept. 09) trip to Spain was our first CS opportunity. We definitely experienced how great Couch Surfing can be! We had such gracious hosts.
