Hello! We are Ashton and Gabe, a married couple living in Washington state. We are videographers together (and Ashton also does photography). We film events, promos, weddings, etc. We love our work!

Aside from work, we love movies and tv, reading, and playing video games. But our favorite thing is traveling and eating great food. While traveling for fun, we mostly like to go out and see the sights, but try to take a little time for relaxing too.

We are also musicians -- Gabe sings and plays mostly guitar and piano (but also just about any instrument he picks up) while Ashton plays bass.

We can be a little shy at first but we are friendly and love to get to know our hosts if they want to chat, have a meal together, or even come out exploring with us. We try our best to just go with the flow :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love meeting people in new places and couch surfing seems like the perfect way to do so!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven across the United States over 10 times

Played over 100 shows in our band together all across the US

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know if we have anything cool to teach but we love to learn and are happy to share in conversation.
Maybe we can help each other learn a little of our languages?
Gabe can play guitar if you have one, and I can take a nice photo of you/your family, your house, or pets :)

We'd love to learn some of your language, how to cook or bake something you like to make, or really anything!
