My husband and I are teachers in New Mexico, USA and we use our school breaks to go on adventures. We're very easygoing and we like to work hard so that when it's time for vacation, we can play even harder! We're not huge party animals but we like to meet people and we're more than happy to show you our beautiful city/state, or get to know yours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel and meet other travelers. We would like the opportunity to do some couch surfing when we are abroad, and feel like we should offer that to others as well. It is always more interesting to stay with local people when you are in a new place!

We haven't used CS yet so we might seem sketchy with our lack of reviews...however, we have used Airbnb to travel and host extensively, so you can read reviews of us there and see that we are real people and will not trash your house/leave your fridge open/etc.
