About Me

CURRENT
Hi! We're Zack and Sam, and we're traveling cross country taking portraits and conducting interviews for our project, Searching for Shraddha ( www.searchingforshraddha.com www.facebook.com/searchingforshraddha ).

We're mostly living out of our car, but would love to find interesting people to meet, couches to crash on, driveways to park in, and showers to wash up in!

About us::
Zack is a writer and an organic farmer, focusing specifically on farm education. He spent the last year teaching preschoolers how to grow veggies!

Sam is a photographer with a special love for dogs! She's also working as a website designer for a NY non-profit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love meeting interesting people with stories to tell, advice for what to see in their cities, and hosts with a warm floor we can crash on!

Interests

We love to read, write, hike, camp, rock climb, whistle, scuba dive, meditate, garden, snowboard, dance, and try new things!
