Hi, we’re Ben and Kasia - we are two married English teachers and writers living in Romania! Passionate about climate justice, literature, art and politics

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love the positive and open-minded people you meet when travelling, and have been very lucky to be hosted by such generous people over the years.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

We love alternative rock, classical and everything in between. Ben loves teaching Shakespeare and Kasia loves obscure historical facts and Erasmus...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ben has worked a year reuniting refugees with their families, working with the Red Cross and Red Crescent in London.

Kasia has worked with underprivileged teenagers to help them go to University in Dublin.

We are both very happy about this!

Teach, Learn, Share

We are both English language teachers, and we also teach Literature and History. We can give you the strange and maybe a little bit scary experience of being taught by 2 teachers at the same time... 😂

We are travelling to Kurdistan to learn about the culture, the history, Öcalan, and to meet amazing people, so tell us anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We also love cooking for people, especially Italian or Romanian recipes!
