ABOUT ME
KEVIN - Has now retired and was a career Cartographer that was engulfed by computer technology at work. You can hate them or love them, but they are essential in my professional work today.
I did not let computers rule my life and still enjoy doing manual tasks outside work. I get the travel bug every year or two.
We have a caravan and enjoy getting out on the road when we can.
LYN - wife of Kevin who is trained as an early childhood teacher. Was Director of a community based child care centre but has now taken on a quieter role as teachers aide in high school working with special needs children on a one to one basis.
PHILOSOPHY
To enjoy each day and think how lucky I am by being healthy and living in a free country.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We offer comfortable lodgings, food, hospitality and touring advice to anyone passing through our way.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
New to couchsurfing but we have been members of hospitality club. We travelled in Europe & UK in 2008 and used the hosting services on a several occassions.
We found it a very rewarding experience and a chance to not only see the area but to meet the individuals that live there. Language was no barrier in Europe. We have hosted people in our home from France, USA, Argentina, Thailand, China, Japan, Denmark through various organisations and hosted visitors with limited English skills. Traveled throughout USA & Canada in 2010 using couchsurfing on some occasions. traveled again to Europe but did not use couchsurfing.
