CURRENT MISSION

to live, laugh, and love

ABOUT ME

We were married in the foothills of Colorado on June 7, 2009. We enjoy getting outdoors as much as possible as well as spending time indoors reading a thought-provoking book and enjoying a good cup of coffee. We also love walking, biking, traveling, meeting new people, gardening, hiking, and good conversations with new and old friends alike. :)

We applied for the Peace Corps shortly after getting married in 2009 and were sent to Niger, Africa in October of 2010. We spent an amazing 4 months in country - learning Hausa and meeting incredible people - before being evacuated in January. We are now back in Denver until early June where we will be giving Peace Corps a second try in Moldova (Eastern Europe).

Being in transition between Peace Corps service makes it impossible to host at the moment, but we will be back on the map of hosting once we return from Moldova! :)

Still loving life and each other and looking for new adventures! :)

PHILOSOPHY

We live life to help others and to enjoy the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are looking to make new friends - by traveling to new and excited places and by sharing a coffee and/or our couch (when able) with people who are passing through Denver!

We had an amazing time meeting people in England and Ireland and are looking forward to hosting in Denver when we're around :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joseph's life was changed after he spent several weeks on the coffee farms of Nicaragua.
Ashley wouldn't be who she is today if it wasn't for her two younger sisters, Hailey & Tracy, who are 10 and 12 years old.
Together - we challenge one another to live life in faith, hope, and love...
