We live in a small house in Salt Lake City, Utah with our two dogs, Penny and Roo. We both studied advertising and marketing, and we both work in video production and digital marketing.

Natalie: My best friends would probably say that I am fun and genuine and that I am a good listener. I love meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and learning new things. I believe that I am here on this earth to learn, to grow, to gain experience, and to become more like God in the process.

Aaron:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We use Couchsurfing to meet up with other fun people in our city and to find gracious hosts when we travel. We love that Couchsurfing brings together people from so many cultures and backgrounds.

Interests

We love all of the outdoor summer activities--hiking, biking, rock climbing, camping, boating, swimming, running, etc. Natalie loves to dance--especially bachata, merengue, and other Latin dances. Aaron likes to film and take photos with his camera. We both enjoy cultural events, theatrical performances, live music and art festivals.

On trips we usually like to see things that aren't quite as touristy: cafes, open-air markets, books stores, cute side streets, and anywhere that locals frequent.
