We are a married couple in our mid-twenties who love to explore and experience the world through the eyes and lives of people we meet. We directed the film "American Bear: An Adventure in the Kindness of Strangers," in which we stayed with strangers all over the US and shared their stories - check it out at www.americanbearfilm.com! A few years after that, we went on tour for 6 months around the US to share the film with students and general audiences.

We're about to begin a trip around the world, and we can't wait to see so much more! This time, we aren't making a film, but we are thrilled to capture our experiences through memories, and sometimes the camera, and try to soak in as much as we can for 10-12 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing isn't just a service, it's a philosophy of generosity and connections and positivity that we want to live by. We love to meet people who share this philosophy, and we're grateful to Couchsurfing for putting this international community together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Greg has hiked around the perimeter of Manhattan in a day -- hugging the Hudson and the East River, he and several friends have blistered their way around 33 miles of the greatest city in the world.

Sarah loves the ocean -- but she can't scuba dive because of her asthma. She has zip-lined in Costa Rica, back packed in the Rockies, hiked in Italy, climbed sand dunes and hills, collected seashells from 8 coastlines and done a whole lot of road tripping with Greg. But she also likes the calm. Some of the most amazing things she has done were at home.

Teach, Learn, Share

We both studied film at NYU and have worked as filmmakers, educators, and media marketing specialists for several years. We would love to share those skills, and we love to learn from everyone we meet. On our upcoming trip around the world, we can't wait to explore and pick up any and all skills we encounter!

What I Can Share with Hosts
