CURRENT MISSION

Starting a family and finding a good balance for our ambitions and travels

ABOUT ME

We recently moved to Kirkland, WA. Before moving here, we lived in CA (Los Angeles and Bay Area) for 3 years. We were in Milwaukee, WI before that and many other places in the US before that. Michelle's dad was military and Paul's dad was a engineering contractor. So, we've both moved around the States quite a bit as children. We have a son named Samuel, born in Feb 2013.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We were very active in the Coushsurfing community in Milwaukee! We hosted and went to several events and met wonderful people who have become great friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted some wonderful couchsurfers and have gone to many of the fun events in the Milwaukee area such as the Lakefront Brewery Tour, Summerfest, International Folk Festival, Oktoberfest, ART Bus, and many dinners and happy hours. We also love that the couch surfing experience travels with us wherever we go. We explored the Olympic Peninsula with a really fun and interesting group of CSers, celebrated the New Year with local Dubliners, and ate Tapas with CSers in Spain!
