A little about Yana. Yana originally is from Russia and moved to the United States at five years old. Yana traveled since a young age with family to Caribbean destinations, to Europe or on ski trips in North America. Yana always felt comfortable on the road. She grew up with a passion for travelling. During college while studying to become a Pharmacist, she took some time off in summers and backpacked through parts of Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America.

A little about Timon. Timon grew up in New Jersey mostly staying out home or finding trouble outside in the neighborhood. While he did not spend his time travelling internationally at a young age, he spent his time playing Ice Hockey and travelling throughout North America on several travel teams.

Yana and Timon’s story started years ago, travelling together (or alone) to Central America, Africa, Asia and Europe. We always have that itch to travel and finally decided to make it a bigger part of our life. Since December 2015 we have been traveling around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new/local people. We are traveling on a budget the next couple of years so any help by staying with locals would be huge. If it's warm enough we could even camp on your lawn.
