About Me

Hi Guys!

We are Jana and Benni

Jana is 24 years old and has just finished her Management master studies..
Benni is 28 years old and after he finished his Bachelor studies in Engineering, he has worked for Red Bull for the last two years.
Since January 2019 we have quit our jobs and apartments and started to travel around the world together.

Our world trip started on 04.01.2019 and we have no idea when we will come back.
Our first country was Kenya. From Kenya we travelled for two months through India and Sri Lanka, then to Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia.

After backpacking Asia for 4 months we explored the eastcoast of Australia for one month before we started working a little bit.

From July until September Jana will work on a farm in the Australian outback while Benni works as an intern in a solar company in New Zealand.

Our next destinations are:
Hawaii, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

We are very open-minded people who would love to get to know the local people and the foreign cultures on our journey, which is why we prefer couchsurfing over hotels or hostels.

We are happy about everyone who brings us closer to his home country.
We are very curious, we love foreign food and local beer!
And of course we are always happy to check out the local nightlife :)

We love to spend time with our host's, but we don't have any expectations and if you don't have time, or want to be on your own, it is totally fine for us to just crash on your couch.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

Benni and Jana

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

..to meet the locals =)

It is not travelling if you don't get to know local people.
You don't find the best tips while reading in a lonley planet.
You'll find them while talking to locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We did so much awesome stuff already...
Driving with a tuktuk through Sri Lanka, diving with a blue whale, scuba dive in a WW2 ship wreck or hitchhike through Indonesia are only a few of them.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to know how to travel the world on a budget --> just ask :-D we always find the best deals and ways to enjoy more and spend less.

We are also really interested in sustainability and healthy food and are always happy to share these, or other topics with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

we might be young, but we have already travelled to almost 50 country's around the world.
So we can share some amazing stories with you if you like
