About Me

Joe and I enjoy creating music, cuddling our animals, arcades, antiquing, and gardening. Margaret spends a lot if time writing letters and listening to books on tape. We both volunteer time at our local radio station and it's probably one of our favourite things to do here. Margaret works with folks living with developmental disabilities and Joe is a tugboat engineer.

We live a 20 minute walk from downtown. We've got plenty of beds for everyone, the more the merrier! We've also got a 5 year old puppy. He will love you to bits and give you his toys in hopes that you will play with you. We are actively working with him to be a good boy, but he is a resource guarder which means we take precautions (and don't host children). He also barks.

We'd love to hear from you if you're passing by, emergency couch requests are very welcome. We also have a driveway that is well suited to car-camp out of (with access to a restroom). Make sure you read the portion on our house, it'll help you know what to expect and if we're a good fit for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to open up my home to others just as others opened up their homes to me during my travels.
