Ron and Kristie Fancher are a couple from Alaska in their mid-twenties, taking a year off from life and backpacking through Europe and Asia. Kristie is a registered nurse and Ron has spent most of his life working with his hands. They both have a deep love of traveling, both for the places they go and the people they meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband and myself are traveling the world and want to experience each country to it's bare bones. We aren't so much interested in "seeing" each place, but rather, meeting great people and getting to share in their love and perspective of their home countries.
