We are Izas and Irati, two Spanish girls backpacking Malaysia and Singapore!! We are both 24 years old and known each other since high school. We consider ourselves friendly, easy-going, open minded and fun! Izas has studied tourism degree but now is working as an English teacher for little children and studying cuisine. On the other hand, Irati has studied fashion design but is currently studying graphic design and working as waitress.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We both are looking to make the most of this travel. We would like to meet new people, find places we’ve never imagined before with a local... Live the real culture of these countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Irati has created and presented her own fashion collection in a Cultural Festival. She has also helped to organise a Film Festival in Bulgaria as a volunteer for 3 months thanks to a European grant. And last but not least, she as attended a real Moroccan wedding!
Izas has visited Cameroon thanks to a volunteering project where she helped in a summer school for a month. Apart from that she has been involved with local volunteering groups in her hometown. Another interesting thing, she has lived and worked as an Au Pair in England for 9 months.
