About Me

CURRENT MISSION
We met in Ireland where we both worked and saved money for our next destination: New Zealand.
After a year and a half working and travelling around the country, we visited Australia and then started our trip around Asia.
It´s our first time in this part of the world and we are really interested in getting to know the different cultures that you can find in this continent. We believe that getting in touch with locals is the best way to do it.
Apart from couchsurfing we also do helpx, where we work for food, accomodation and good experiences with locals. Fede has done it around Europe and we have done it together in New Zealand and Australia. We had such beautiful and inspiring experiences with all the people we got to help.

ABOUT ME
We are peaceful guys, easygoing and interested in meeting new people every where we go. We can say that we are organized and polite, as well as that we really like to share new experiences with friends and trip mates that you meet while traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

We like facing new challenges and traveling in order to get out of our comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling on a budget might not be the easiest way to do it but it´s definitely the coolest :)

FEDE: I really like music, I listen to it and I also play it. I like percussion and drums. In addition to this I must say that I love traveling and meeting new cultures. It's nice for me to meet new places, no matter if they are big cities or little towns, I enjoy of the experience of living the place I'm visiting. I also enjoy of nature and I really like to stay close to it. I really like plants as well as animals, and enjoy of being near them. I can also say that I'm passionate about cycling. I enjoy riding my bike and making cycling part of my everyday life.
RAQUEL: I enjoy cooking as well as eating and trying different kind of foods and ways of cooking it. I also enjoy nature, hiking to different places, swimming and reading. Travelling is a good way to get inspired in many ways, it changes the way you see life and how to live it.
