New Traveling Retirees
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
My wife and I are both 59 year old retirees. She retired from teaching high school German, and I am a retired firefighter. We both logged more that 30 years, each, in public service. We have 3 grown, newly college graduated children. Their careers are nurse, teacher and future police officer. We are just getting started traveling. My traveling bucket list is touring North America in an RV I built from a small cargo trailer. My hope is to be traveling more than I am home. Her traveling bucket list is to visit all the continents. We love hiking and biking and meeting new people and communities. Off season travel is our favorite.
Skills & Expertise to Share
My wife speaks German and French, and I am fairly handy with DIY projects.

We have a cat named Sunshine, but she does not travel with us. We leave her at home in the capable hands of our son.

From Guests to Friends
We have often said that we have never met a Boondockers Welcome guest or host that we didn't like. Also, we have said, "Having a BW guest stay with you is the next best thing to being on the road.'
Every BW guest we have hosted has been a delight to host, but occasionally you get an off the chart fantastic guest. You know, the kind of couple that you become instant friends with and you feel like you have known each other forever.
Cthckman were those kind of guests. What a wonderful, delightful fun couple to be around. We are so happy they came back for a second stay.
Certainly by all means we wholeheartedly recommend Ctheckman. They are the most kind, considerate, generous and zany guests you could hope to host.

Nice friendly couple
Didn't even know they were here they were so quiet, till morning and I am glad I got to meet them. So nice and cheerful even though they had truck trouble the day before causing them to arrive late. Would host them again any time.

T & C were very considerate and a sweet couple to boot. While there stay was short, our brief conversations were very engaging. Highly recommend this couple as great guests and hope to see them again soon.

Please come back!
Ctheckman were the best. We really enjoyed sitting around the campfire with them last night. A delightful couple. Ctheckman has made an incredible camper out of a cargo trailer. Very nicely done. This couple is welcome back here anytime. We wish they could have stayed for more than one night. Hopefully our paths will cross again someday out there on our great highways and byways. Thank you for your service as a fireman.
