ABOUT US

We are Matt and Julie! We're both Canadian, met while living in Latvia and married during a pandemic! We love exploring new and different cultures and we both love everything outdoors. We're pretty easy going but will usually have a general plan when traveling.

Neither of us are into partying anymore, give us a sunrise hike and food experiments and we’re happy!

We both work full time, sometimes even more, and don't often have much free time. When we do, we're finding new places to explore or enjoying dinner parties with friends.

Matt is 32, bilingual French and English, and is learning Russian. He studied finance and business and finds it easy to hold conversations on any subject.

Julie is 34, speaks English and the basics of a handful of other languages. She studied psychology and education and has worked as a teacher and principal in schools around the world.

The world is very small and getting smaller everyday, we want to see as much of it as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're looking forward to meeting new people all over the world.
