Personal DescriptionI'm a pretty simple guy. I love taking photos. I love my wife. CouchSurfing ExperienceSurfed in NYC with a great couple for a couple nights. I've also hosted a couple times. All great experiences so far! InterestsToo much stuff to list. Anything outside. Anything techy mac computers. Anything really... besides shopping and traffic. Types of People I enjoyPeople who are passionate about what they do and are excited about life in general. One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneScuba diving alone at night in a very deep and dark ocean cave, with lots of surge, and plenty of sea creatures watching me. Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done, but most adventureous as well. Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectI'm excited about it! My wife and I are planning some travel next year and I hope we surf some cool couches with great people. Also hope to offer our couch to some good people as well.Locations TraveledTRAVELED: Australia, Bhutan, Cambodia, Canada, China, Guatemala, India, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam
LIVED: United States

They were also extremely hospitable and took us in even when in the midst of returning from adventures of their own. Thanks again for hosting us and I look forward to running into you again!

I am very glad to have met them and wish them wonderful travels. Blaine and Bethany - you are very welcome to stay if you pass this way again - or wherever I am in the future!  From Shuichi Irie Kobe, Japan
Jan 21, 2008 Positive It was really nice to meet Blaine and Bethany! we had dinner together with other CS friends, and it was great, followed by the walk near the lake and the beer in a cafe. That is so pity that we hadnt spend a long time. Hope to see you guys again! From Chris Hearne Beijing, China
Jan 12, 2008 Positive These two are great! We met at a couchsurfer dinner in Guilin and wandered around for almost a week together and had tons of fun. They are both surprisingly very different from each other but both great to travel with. See you guys in Beijing!
From Wesley Reynolds Portland, United States
Jan 10, 2008  Positive They were a fun couple that I met by chance in Guilin. After we met we stayed together for 5 days of traveling. They were a great couple, Blaine was a chill guy, and Bethany was something else..ha ha. Hope you still have your organs!!! SO FAR!!
 From Leo Long Guilin, China
Jan 4, 2008  Positive the couple is kind! they r good at photograph. hope to learn more photogragh skills from them when i have a chance.  From Steve Bzomowski Kent, United States
Jan 2, 2008 Positive Blaine and Bethany were a pleasure to have over. We watched Bull Durham which will hopefully help them through the rest of the baseball offseason. From Steve Lee Masterton, New Zealand
Dec 14, 2007 Positive What a wonderful couple! Sincere, honest, vibrant, respectful, happy, and awesome photographers. We were blessed with their presence. I look forward to reading about their journeys and seeing more incredible photos. Blaine and Bethany, thanks for the great discussions, and revitalizing my life-long interest in photography. PS - Lithuania rocks!
 From Victoria Tai San Francisco, United States
Oct 13, 2007  Positive Learning bit by bit from a photography maverick is about seeing the world in an aesthetic, more insightful way...and he has a very upbeat personality. The thing that we share is probably that we both work pretty hard and we're both gadget nerds. I anticipate meeting him and Bethany in India!  From zibandalex Palmer Station, Antarctica
Aug 1, 2007 Positive Blaine and his sister stayed with us in NYC. Although we don't normally host during the summer months - owing to our lack of air conditioning - we made an exception for Blaine and Lindsey. And we would wholeheartedly make another exception if either of them want to visit us again. From Andrea Katz Muskego, United States
Jul 31, 2007 Positive I don´t know where to begin with Blaine and Bethany. They are such an amazing couple. There family was unreal... so gracious and awesome. Mike and I truly loved our experience with them. They are phenomonal photographers and people and I can´t wait to hang out with them again. You guys rock. Thank you so much. --- Andrea and Mike
