Hi!

We are two childhood friends in their late 20s turned lovers nurturing a common project: to set out on a trip across America! We like to think of ourselves as open-minded adventurers. We are resourceful, easy-going and very sociable.

Daniel is the lone survivor of a rare species, a genuine hard-working man with a taste for extraordinary adventures. He wears his heart on his sleeve as much as he values honor. Daniel has excellent social skills and is always willing to share with others as much as he likes acquiring new knowledge. He is autonomous, resourceful and possesses a strong sense of initiative. His infinite smile is only matched by his generosity. He is a source of inspiration to me and I admire him greatly.

Anne Marie has this fiery passion about her, which fuels her desire to learn and experience new things. She has an insatiable appetite for knowledge, no matter the subject, as long as she keeps learning. Anne Marie may be small in height, but she has the heart of a giant as well as a strong sense of leadership. She has one of the most creative mind I have ever encountered as well as strong social skills, which makes you feel like you want to become friends at first contact. She has this indescribable lust for life and a highly developed moral sense. Did I mention her smile…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To acquire new experiences, travel differently, gain practical insights, meet inspiring people and hope we can inspire others in return.

Interests

We are two young professionals working in the fields of translation and communication. We wish to document our journey through a blog and only in utmost respect of privacy of the people we meet. Our primary objective is to inspire the youth to remain active, to step out of their comfort zone and to believe that anything is possible when you put yourself out there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Daniel teaches me everyday on how to stay positive and be fearless , he always comes up with new knowledge to share on almost any subject as he is a very curious human-being. I think he knows every movie in this world, a lot about punk culture and he's a good listener.

Anne Marie is eager to share her passion of travelling with anyone willing to listen. She is a very smart person who chose courage and pursuit of happiness over comfort and stability. She inspires me to be a better person everyday and I'm sure she will do the same to you.
