About Me

Hi!
We're a Spanish couple who used to live between Madrid, Paris, Barcelona and Ibiza.
A few weeks ago, we decided to accomplish a common dream: a 6 months travel around India and Southeast Asia.
We don't define ourselves as traditional backpackers, neither the contrary...we're just nice people wanting to see the world and meeting nice people back ;)

Amanda is an architect passionate about renewing old buildings and revitalizing cities. She's also a very (very) good cook and is willing to make the entire world taste her Spanish tortilla!
Daniel is a techie marketer who is passionate about sharing economy and online businesses. He loves partying and has decided to taste every local beer available in this trip! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Actually, we're 100% new on couchsurfing, we think it's the very best way to get to know the countries we're visiting on this trip: India, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia.

It is about meeting new people and discovering the real world in a real way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've spent several summers selling water on Ibiza beaches, living in the woods and spending our earnings in pizza and mojitos :)))
And of course...
A few weeks ago, we decided to quit everything and start this f****ing amazing travel!

Teach, Learn, Share

Amanda:
She cooks. Very well. And she always have some curious ideas to discuss. She also likes to share her new music discoveries with everyone!

Daniel:
He speaks Spanish, Catalan and French fluently. He's always willing to give some language courses to his international friends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We would love to meet new people all around the world and welcome them later in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, or our beloved secret island, Formentera.

Everyone who knows us say we're an amazing couple. Hanging out with us is like doing it with two friends ;)
