CURRENT MISSION

To feel things we haven't before. Remaining positive. Trying to break through the surface of the countries we visit by greeting the locals, exploring the hidden alleyway, and always keeping an open mind.

ABOUT ME
I'm not sure you'll find a more laid back couple.

Evan: I love to bike, love animals, love nature, all that jazz. Right now my aim is to explore the world both on and off the beaten path.

Maddy: I try to get out of my comfort zone as often as possible. I crave new experiences because it is when I feel most alive. Extremely amateur baker. Professional lounger.

We pride ourselves on being able to adapt to things whether it be food, sleep accommodations, coffee consumption rates--which, I might say, is our most valued trait.

PHILOSOPHY
Love. You get what you give. Kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just try to be real, connect with others and feel good. We prefer to listen while surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think unexpected hospitality is one of the greatest gifts. I've had great experiences via Couchsurfing so far, meeting wonderful people, and seeing places I'm interested to see. I'm always thoroughly surprised with the grace and kindness of each new Couchsurfing experience.

Interests

Biking, for now. Reading, conversation of all sorts. Self reliance.
