ABOUT ME

We are two very outgoing people 76 and 72 and interested in people that are doers. We are interested in naturists, travel, community living,, organic farming, I John have had Fibromyalgia in the last ten years which hopefully will go into remission. My wife works in the local hospice house and a psychiatric hospital as an RN. We have six children and 11 grand children and more on the way scattered throughout the world . Due to my Fibro I cannot travel much but would love to have you stop in. We have a 4000 square foot home and all sorts of accommodations including a Taj mahal tent . We also host a pot luck the first sat evening of the month at our home with usually 25 to 50 attending. Please follow our link for some idea of what we do. If you come here we expect you to be part of the family and just join in and not wait to be served.We have had in the past chickens and ducks, an alligator and almost enough produce to live off off. The wild animals have eaten the chicken and ducks. If you stay longer than three days you must be nice and either pay or work it off on the farm. Remember we have a dog and a test. Please follow instructions. Extra work for those who fail. Please feel free to make yourself at home and not expect to be waited on. As Dominique goes to work very early we prefer no loud noises after 9 PM and she usually works more than 50 hours a week in 13 hour shifts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCH SURFING
Just come on in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE

In the last 15 years before my Main illness Fibromyalgia I traveled about 1,000,000 and visited about 50 countries around the world on a shoestring budget . I stayed only at hostels or at peoples places I met over the internet . My wife traveled with me half the time approximately and she spends about a month a year in France with her family as I cannot travel now. Now I recieve the world at my doorstep and can share information on what's happening throughout the world. Its also our way of trying to show our family what they should do with their families. We expect guests to participate in our household activities and not treat this as a hotel.
