About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Smile, Have Fun and No Wucking Forries....

ABOUT ME

Jen: Enjoys the outdoors, the beach, the mountains and any activity that goes along with both of those.

Nick: The two Fs. Football and Food. Ok, if beer started with an F, it would be the three Fs.

Nick is allergic to cats so if you have a cat, please tell us. Thanks in advance! We just have to organize some medicine and then Nick will be ok.

******Note: Currently the couch surfing website is banned from most computers in the UAE. We can only use the website from work computers so we may be slow replying to your message. Sorry! Also, our profile often says "Dubai" from the last internet access place but trust us, we are in Abu Dhabi.

PHILOSOPHY

Why should we do things the same as everyone else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

No longer just Futon(s) and experiences to share. We actually have couches and a guest bedroom to share in the UAE. Long gone are the days of 1 bedroom Japanese apartments away from the city ( I think this turned potential surfers off).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've hosted many people in Abu Dhabi and Japan and we've been hosted a few times in Europe. The absolute best thing is to meet locals and live for a night or two through their eyes. See what they see. Hear the stories they share. Experience as a local. So far we have been lucky and privileged because we have had so many good times with so many people and it is truly a wonderful experience.
