Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We were hosted by so many lovely people during our travels that we want to help other travelers by giving a nice place to stay and a cultural experience around our area.

We love traveling, making new friends, seeing different cultures, see how people live, try new things like sports and food.
We get energy by stepping out of the comfort zone to explore new things, see places, get adventures and challenges.

Traveled one and a half years around Asia and Austalia.
The highlights of our travel was:

- Annapurna Circuit Trek, 3 weeks around Annapurna in Nepal.
- 700km Mae Hong Son loop on a motorcycle in Thailand.
