ABOUT ME

We are both young, ambitious, and energetic. We like to go out and see lots of things, but sometimes we also like to relax and have a quiet evening. Sometımes we are serıous, thoughtful and sensıtıve and sometımes we are sılly and carefree.

PHILOSOPHY

One can never say, it changes all the time. Maybe that is some type of philosophy in and of itself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can't offer anything up right now as we are traveling and do not have a permanent residence. But we will be returning to the states next year and if we have a place where we can accept people, we would love to. Right now we are participating just by being open and talking to people and exchanging a place to stay for friendship and communication.

Teach, Learn, Share

We want to learn everything, maybe nothing specifically but try to be open to all sorts of people and possibilities that present themselves. We're not sure what we're looking for, maybe we're looking for the things that can't be searched for but just have to show up spontaneously. We can teach about ourselves and the different things we have experienced - we have a good knowledge of classical education as well as traveling experience. But really, you never know what you're going to learn or give to people, it depends on who you're talking to!
