We live in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC. Ali is an art therapist and loves being a witness and partner in the healing process. Ali currently works with women in recovery from substances and eating disorders. Dave is an entrepreneur and started his own company related to software testing. (Dave can pretty much do anything related to computers). We are pretty active and like to seek out hiking/biking/walking paths. And, we love to eat. Eating and drinking like locals is our most favorite fun way to get to know a new area. Our overseas adventures include Singapore, Malaysia, India, Costa Rica, and Argentina. We are building a house in Asheville that should be completed by spring 2015 so we're looking forward to hosting in the near future.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

We love the community aspects of traveling and getting to know an area by getting to know the people. We try to live a simple life and it makes sense to us to stay with folks rather than adding to the waste of a hotel.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

On new years eve 2010 going into 2011 Dave and I summited the tallest mountain in Southeast Asia to watch the sun rise. The most stunning view I've ever seen.

Dave has always been excited about learning another language and has spent considerable effort learning Spanish. We both have a lot to offer in our pursuit to live a less stressful, more connected life.
