CURRENT MISSION (Lise)

Traveling across the US from Portland, OR to Vermont - Summer 2017

ABOUT Lise and Zeina (for previous travels):

We're 31 years old. We cannot live a day without music or without laughter. We travel together like sisters and love meeting new people around the world who will make us laugh, dance and sing. We've travelled on both coasts of the United States and discovered the land of Blues and Country Music during a 3-months road trip : the South! We met and interviewed musicians for field research in American Studies in 2010.

PHILOSOPHY

Lise: "I live one day at a time, I dream one dream at a time, yesterday's dead and tomorrow is blind and I live one day at a time." - Willie Nelson

Zeina: "I'll know my song well before I start singing" - Bob Dylan

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We first couchsurfed in september 2010 for our road trip down the south of the US, and since then we only met amazing people. Our road trip was very special thanks to CS and now it's hard to think about another way of traveling!
