About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Small house, huge backyard.

ABOUT ME

We have been on the road for about 17 months, collecting some life force before heading back to University :) We love being in new places, meeting new people and experiencing new things.

We're travelling, but not couchsurfing just to save money; we're mostly in it for meeting new people. We don't mind if a host is busy and there isn't much time to talk, but we also don't mind sleeping on the floor if it means meeting an interesting person!

PHILOSOPHY

Life won't wait.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can cook, eat, laugh and share. Getting pretty good at it too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far we've couchsurfed in Iceland, London, Morocco, Turkey, Tbilisi, Yerevan, Baku, Kazakhstan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia (thanks Sabrina, Runar, Tamas, Dheeraj, Mohamed, Amine, Issam, Jonas, Imad, Salaheddine, Ali, Can, Keny Ken, Huseyin and Hocam!, Kenny Kurata, Artyom, Ali, Andrey, Matt, Stephanie, Annie and Reuben, Brian, Kara, Antoine, Alex and Toun, Igor and Gelya, Ehsan, Intan and family, and Augus and family) We love it! We have met such incredible people, some of which will now be friends forever. :) The more we travel, the more we realize our memories are made up more of people we met through CS than of things we did or saw... PLEASE READ THIS and help us out if you can! We are at the moment hoping to wwoof and couchsurf our way through as many countries as we can, because we've believe it's the best way to actually understand a country, rather than just be a tourist in it. People interest us much more than sightseeing.In exchange, we are also looking forward to host as many people as humanly possible when we get back home in 2012!

Interests

Swimming, reading, cooking vegetarian food, we'll try anything at least once. Living all around the world, because since money is bound to be spent, we figure we might as well use it to travel!
