Hi! We are Marika Laurelli and Diego Miele, a couple of italian travel bloggers, web writers and content creators. We met in 2011 and we got married on July 30th 2017. We have been to a lot of different countries in the world because travelling is the most important thing to us. People describes us as a friendly couple. We truly believe in the power of the positivity and the communication. You can find us here: www.gate309.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love travelling the world, meeting new people, tasting new foods and learning from new cultures. We also try to experience not only the most famouse things of a destination, but also the local ones.
The contact with local people is the most important thing for us and it is something you can’t have choosing a different kind of accommodation.
That’s why we are on Couchsurfing: because the best side of a new place is its people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We decided to open our travel blog on Sept 2013 and turn it from a hobby to a real job. We love living a life we may never have imagined possible and travelling the world as a couple to share it with our followers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Diego is a very good italian chef (his family has 2 restaurants) and he loves cooking.
He would be very happy to teach to our hosts how to cook the real pizza and other italian specialities.
Marika is a digital storytelling so she could give tips about the rules of the ditital marketing (for example: working as a blogger, earning from social networks,...).
We also love to discuss about books, movies, tv series, cultures and all the places we have been to. We always love talking about travelling!
