Hi traveller friends,

We are Eoin (IRE) and Carmen (CH). After we both travelled through multiple countries we met in Melbourne, Australia and have been travelling together ever since.

Currently we are living in Vancouver, Canada where we both work. We like to use the weekends to go camping and explore the beautiful area here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people, from different countries and from different cultures. We love learning how to cook special meals for learn how to say things in other languages and of course get insider tips from locals.

Interests

Eoin: Since arriving to Vancouver after travelling the globe for over 2 years I've had my first taste of Snowboarding, I've also recently completed my PADI open water diver course, I'm a keen angler, I like to mess around with my acoustic guitar, have a beer or wine with friends and cook up new and old style food.

Carmen: I am a passionate cook. I love experimenting with new dishes and giving existing recipes my own twist. But the calories must be burn and I like to do that with: crossfit, snowboarding, scuba diving, wakeboarding and hiking. Being outdoors is my favourite, so pitching a tent and having a nice BBQ in the open makes me super happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eoin: I like all kinds of music, I don't read much although o know I should, I try, I think the last book I finished was the alchemist, I had to give away Shantaram while travelling because it wouldn't fit in my bag, I will continue to try to read more books, buy I don't hold out too much hope. Movies, yes, every Tuesday, I don't have a favourite. Popcorn, yes.

Carmen: I thing I am pretty similar to Eoin. I don't read much (most I have read is probably in Lonely Planet, ha) But I love music and movies. I listen to indie, folk and reggae. But I am very open.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eoin: Climbed the highest pass (Thorang high pass) in the world.

Carmen: Swam with wild dolphins.

Teach, Learn, Share

Carmen: I can teach you Swiss German, if you are interested :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A genuine conversation, a neat and tidy manner, a story or two, a coffee made by Eoin, a meal if you like, we thoroughly enjoy cooking especially with the challenge of a new kitchen!
