Hi! I'm Dorene
Canadian, early 40's, courageous, adventurous, responsible, and told I always have a positive outlook on life!
Sold everything I own to travel full time to find the joy of learning everyday and living. Sorry, I would love to accept guests but I no longer have a home! (but will accept in the future)
Travel with my husband Troy full time
Used to be a corporate girl - Marketing Director, left that to pursue my own thing, on my own terms.
Troy and I started www.travellifeX.com - to help people who feel stuck and missing out on life. We share how meaningful travel change transform their lives and the lives of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I sold my home and everything I own to live a digital-nomadic life with my husband Troy.
I travel all over the world to live, work on our business and travel, and the best way to enjoy and learn it is to spend time with locals! It's incredibly rewarding and look forward to meeting new people.
* Note it's our first time trying couchsurfing but happy to provide personal references from house and pet sitting, and airbnb

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a major leap, sold everything we own, sold our house, quit our long standing careers to pursue a new life of full-time travel and eventual move to somewhere else in the world (With my husband Troy) We were pretty focused corporate, conservative people and after years of dreaming we have made our dream life happen!
