About Me

We are 30 and 29 year old Canadians who have moved back to Edmonton in 2016 after travelling around and living in Europe for a year and a half. Daryl is a mechanical engineer and Erin is a teacher.

We are friendly, always up to meet new people and are pretty easy going. We've hosted people in Edmonton and Eindhoven and then had an awesome time with all of the the amazing hosts who hosted us during our travels. We are available to host again to give back to this great community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We hosted in Canada and the Netherands and we were guests all around Europe and now we are available to host again!

Teach, Learn, Share

We're back home in our city, and so much has changed while we were away, so let's explore it together, or just hang out a bit while you're here! We love to cook, eat, drink a beer, walk around and see things or just hang out and chat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We'd be happy to bring some wine, take you out for dinner or cook one at your place, just let us know! Perhaps a Dutch / Canadian fusion breakfast for you!?
