ABOUT ME

Ron and I are in our mid 60's. cottage in the Hocking . When our Grandson , Glen Echo was born the running back and forth to Athens made us rethink our living arrangements. We have moved to a totally renovated "retro" trailer in a small park just out side of Athens I am a drop out Hippie , Ron a bit more quiet , we like different music , me The Dead , Marley ., My Morning Jacket , Powwow music , Ron more classical and such....We do have the same love of getting in the car for day trips and just following a blue highway , looking for our next adventure....no plans just explore the USA , 1 road at a time....We love CS ing and learning and listening to new people.

PHILOSOPHY

LIFE IS SHORT, PICK YOUR BATTLES WELL, SOME THINGS ARE NOT WORTH STRESSING OVER, GIVE A HAND UP, SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE, LISTEN TO YOUR ELDERS MOST WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO TEACH YOU, DO NOT JUDGE LEST YOU ARE JUDGED, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY SAY NOTHING AT ALL, THERE IS SOME GOOD IN EVERY PERSON, YOU MAY HAVE TO PEEL LAYERS HOWEVER TO FIND IT..AND FROM MY GRANNY " YOU MUST HAVE THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS IN YOUR BREAST OR YOUR NOTHIN"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

WE ARE AWARE IN THIS TIME OF MONEY BEING TIGHT THAT TRAVEL IS FUN BUT EXPENSIVE, THUS WE HAVE A PLACE TO OFFER. ONE HAND OUT HELPS ANOTHER...WE ALL NEED A MIRACLE NOW AND AGAIN. I AM NOW PRETTY MUCH RETIRED BUT NEVER SAY NEVER THE RIGHT " NEW JOB " PICKING UP BABYSITTING WHEN NOT DOING THE SAME FOR GRAND 4 , GLEN ECHO.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

WHILE NOT COUCH SURFING PER SAY, MY EXPERIENCE AND THAT OF MY KIDS WAS TO DO HOSTELING WHEN WE TRAVELED INSTEAD OF THE "BIG BOX" MOTELS...THEY LOVED THE DIVERSITY, WE LOVED THE PRICE AND THE FUN OF MEETING OTHERS. I ASK, IF OUR GUESTS ARE INTERESTED TO DO AS HOSTELS DO, MAYBE A CHORE OR TWO. WE ARE "OLD FARTS" WHO DO HAVE SOME LIMITATIONS. IT IS HARD TO SAY WE ARE SLOWING A BIT BUT HEY, LIFE HAPPENS IN STAGES.
