This is really an 'about us'! My wife, Fae, and I have joined forces - both having been active CSers before meeting each other.

Currently living in Upstate NY.

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as we can about the world around us and the people in it; and figure out how to give back

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We can't say enough about CS, the philosophy and mission... it's changed our lives. We have learned so much, and continue to learn from all the different people we meet. CS has opened up new avenues and created new friendships that transcend language, race and culture!

Interests

Dave:
I love to travel, that's obvious. I love to help people... music and movies... walking in the rain... getting dirty... long walks at night... good food. I am amateur photographer... check out my pics. Above all, I love my partner Fay!

Fay: Love our little family of five (me, Dave, two mixed Maine Coon cats and a Malamute pup). Love genuine human connections, stories told by strangers who become friends, holding babies, eating food, clear water for swimming, fresh smell of earth after the rain, long walks under the stars, people watching in NYC, chasing dragonflies, hikes up, hikes down, waterfalls with pools for jumping in... Also love to draw and paint. And, I haven't met a country I didn't like.
