Hello! We are Katie and Jaime! Two best friends from Vancouver Island, Canada. We are on our second trip together after we bonded in Central America. Currently studying in the quaint town of Olomouc, Czech Republic and doing some small trips around Central Europe.

We are sure to make you laugh, swap some silly travel stories and have some quality conversations :)

Shared interests are : Hiking, paddle boarding, diving, live music, local food, art, photography and of course travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because so far I have had an amazing experience with the kindness of strangers! I think this organization creates a platform for what we all have in common: the love for travel. It allows us to share travel stories, insight, and plans. We can have a real cultural exchange! No one knows a place better than true locals. I have met some life long friends through this organization, and even went sky-diving with a host!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have traveled to ten countries together! We are aiming for thirty before we turn thirty and fifty before we turn fifty!

Teach, Learn, Share

Jaime studies Anthropology and I study Geography so we love to learn about other cultures! Learning about local history, food, politics, traditions and landscapes is what keep us hungry as students and travelers.
