CURRENT MISSION

To be boundless and to know the myriad things.

ABOUT ME

Laura: Continually conquering the things which know no master, exploring the sites which cannot be seen, and living among the lifeless, all in hopes of finding distant reality.

Claire: Unconventional. My walls are plastered with the tangible things that are spewed from my far-from-mundane imagination. I like to daydream and capture moments and help humans begin to start putting their trusts in other people. I like to think of myself as other-worldly but I am quite content being me.

PHILOSOPHY

Laura: (hiatus)

Claire: To look Death in the eye and tell him tales of my grand adventures until it comes time for yet another one to start.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Claire: I have lived in Montreal for two and a half months in the summer of 2010 with a family (the Van Der Veens!) who found me here. I also surfed with quite a handful of the Quebecois.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you how to drink wine. How to play the guitar. How to draw cupcakes with faces and happy kittens, how to read and write. How to be spontaneous. We can share bits and pieces of our philosophies.

We would love to connect with you.
