Hi :) We are Jonna and Davide, a couple now living in Utrecht. Before this we both travelled quite a bit: backpacking and bike touring through various countries in Europe and South America.

We actually met travelling in Albania one year ago. We discovered we have the same sense of adventure: hitchhiking, wild camping, rafting down rivers on inflatable childrens' boats, hiking, and staying well away from bears.

Davide's backpack is small and neatly organized, every single item has one specific place and one specific place only; Jonna's is twice as large and can host objects, floating in complete chaos, that will not be needed in the next 5 years - but deemed essential nonetheless.

In our daily lives, we both like to be creative: one day it's doing collage and aquarel, sometimes it's Davide patiently teaching guitar to Jonna whose mind is already on making silly songs, and most of the time we just accumulate interesting ideas that we will definitely do one day. Always accompanied by a warm tea and snacks. We like to go out to explore, walking, biking or running.

We're both open-minded, curious and caring, and we enjoy sincere conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would like to help out and meet fellow travellers. Davide has used Couchsurfing before and is eager to repay the favor.

Since we're now staying in Utrecht for a while, we'd like to meet travellers to still enjoy a bit of the "travel" mindset and discover new cultures and perspectives.

Music, Movies, and Books

Davide likes Blues, he's not much into movies but compensates with books.

Jonna's favourite book is still Harry Potter and this will probably never change although other books are read with much enthusiasm.
