CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, see new places

ABOUT ME

David and I are a young married couple who share a passion for traveling. We met in Suzhou, China, and are currently living and working in Portland, ME.

We're both pretty easygoing, and we always try to respect other people and their space. We don't smoke or use illegal substances. Although we like adventure, I wouldn't call us wild and crazy. During the work week, we usually go to bed pretty early.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

*We are taking a break from hosting for a few months, but we hope to host again in the future!*

We had wonderful couchsurfing experiences as we traveled across the U.S. Our hosts usually took the time to show us around, or at least give us some tips on the best places to visit during our stay. We're looking forward to being hosts ourselves.
