About Me

Late 20's married couple traveling around the world. We're not on vacation, we're both working and just taking countries and cities for a test drive. We think at the end of the travels we will return to our favorite destination and live there for some time.

He: Grew up in Jamaica, then upstate NY, lived in Washington D.C., San Francisco and most recently New York City.

She: Grew up in Michigan, then lived in San Francisco for 7 years and most recently New York City.

We'll try anything twice, we love to put down a few drinks, and we're always up to chat the nights away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As mentioned in "About Me," we are currently traveling full time - we left in Aug 2014, and we know that more than anything, the people that you meet can make or break any travel destination.

We're hoping to meet locals in our upcoming destinations!

Our best trips have been a result of meeting and befriending locals, and we've heard that Couch Surfing is a fantastic way to do it! We've been doing it the old-fashioned way so far (in person), and a bit via Instagram, but now we're getting more official about it! :) We've remained friends with virtually everyone that we've met traveling abroad!

Interests

We love socializing, technology, all kinds of music, urban art / street art, reading, movies, mild-adventures (we're city people!), exploring new places, and we are always looking for a new adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The world's highest bungee bridge?? I'll need to think of something more amazing to put here for us :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - Anything about traveling full time and the various countries that we're been too. Also any/everything you could ever want to know about digital marketing!

Learn - We just want to explore and experience the world as seen by its locals.

Share - We believe in the interconnectedness of all humans, Ubuntu, the Africans call it, which has its foundation in sharing. We are here to share everything :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories from experiences around the world, levity, the company of a slightly eccentric and always excited young married couple. We like to party, but definitely know how to kick back and relax :). Let's get out there and get weird together :)
