CURRENT MISSION

Tschussi-ing without killing anyone

ABOUT ME

We are best friends trying to figure out just what the hell to do with our lives. In other words, we're young, somewhat reckless, and ambitious enough to take risks that leave us marveling at the fickleness of life.

Since we live in the same house, we decided it would make more sense to have a joint profile for requests. But we each have our own individual profiles where you can read more about us, see our references, and past CS experience:

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be afraid to dance in the rain, but bring your umbrella for the walk home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since we are kind of broke, we can't really travel past our home region of the East Coast. So we decided to open our house up to travelers from around the world in need of a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is equally rewarding for us and our guests. We have the chance to live vicariously through our guests and share experience and knowledge with them. Our first time surfing was probably the pivot point in our lives, and we're happy to promote the project in our own way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Iceland was the most amazing place Jasmine has ever seen. Ley managed to get 44 people in and out of North Korea in one weekend.

Teach, Learn, Share

We aim to exemplify a different perspective of Americans, and show that not all Americans live like those portrayed in the media and act like ignorant clowns. Our house is a positive example of how a strange hodge-podge of people can live together harmoniously. The common denominator we all have is that we are human, and relish the fact that, even though we come from different backgrounds, we can come together and accept one another. Respect is the most fundamental stepping stone that one can learn and grow from.
