CURRENT MISSION

Follow a dream, find a place

ABOUT ME

We (Vinko & Colette) are chilled, fun-loving and intelligent people. A pair of passionate nomads, we've traveled for longer than we care to admit and have been charmed by the grace and generosity of people all over the world.

We love nature, ultimate frisbee, music, food (omg, do not let me forget food!), good wine, good conversations and cool websites. Favorite pastime would be discovering world changing ideas and learning random interesting facts.

Right now we're working on our startup which is thrilling and all-consuming. Soon we'll unleash the next evolution in P2P travel and we can't wait to change the world doing it.

PHILOSOPHY

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now we're traveling, but once we get to our next permanent spot, we'll definitely be hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We were mostly camping when we rode through Central America, but we've met very generous and fun hosts and surfers in round-about ways. We went on a CS organized snowboarding trip in the Canadian Rockies and loved it - great people all around! Can't wait to get some serious surfing under our belts in Europe next!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting married...
Biking through Central America...
Bathed an elephant...
Swimming with the whale sharks...
The temples at Angkor Wat...
Kayaking through Halong Bay in Vietnam...
Staying with the kindest Mayan family in Belize...
