CURRENT MISSION

Eat Pray Love (with kids and not necessarily in that order)

ABOUT ME

We are three, Tyler (18), Ethan (16) and me. We love to travel, discover the world and meet new people and their cultures. It's the best education anyone could wish for.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted several at our pad and experienced a fab example of hospitality in Italy. We have had a break from hosting for the last 2 years due to building works and sadly, a bad couchsurfing experience consisting of an overstayed welcome. We have missed having visitors since. A few return couchsurfers have convinced me to pluck up the courage again. So please, if you are a genuine sociable traveller and would like a friendly place to stay, give us a try.

Interests

Anything new! We love animals and have hosted a few of those as well. The boys are complete nerds which is why, every chance I get, I try to take them away from all the technology. We grow yummy things in the garden so you can pick your way through and we have a fish pond with very tame fish. We also have pet mice!

Music, Movies, and Books

Comic books, any happy music will do just fine. Lord of the Rings, Braveheart and Miss Congeniality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled Asia for 6 weeks with a 4- and 5-year old with nothing but an 18kg rucksack. It was so amazing, we now do it every year although the luggage allowance has gone up!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to make pancakes and bake a mean applepie.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to make Indonesian food and teach you about gardening. I know a lot about mice too!
