Description
Hello!
My name is Mitch and I am travelling with my fiance Siena. We are desert dwellers from Arizona, but have spent the last year living in our old VW van traveling all over North America with our dog. Our travels taught us that we love to travel slow, experiencing other cultures by staying with people locally.
Both of us are former professionals who have stepped away from work to pursue the adventures we love in life. The two of us have a passion for nature and fill our time by hiking, biking, rafting, camping and climbing. Mitch likes to tinker with anything that has a motor, and Siena enjoys fiber art and painting. We compliment each others personalities very well with lots of humor and love.
We would like to continue our journey this spring by travelling and sharing our personal skills in exchange for a few laughs and a great time in a country new to us.Interests
