About Me

Us? So, we are Susie and Martina we have been living in Gran Canaria, Spain for the past few years and are now ready for our big adventure around parts of South America.

and we drink lots of tea and eat lots of chocolate :)

"All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."

"When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Martina hosted people in the Czech Republic and stayed with others in Hawaii and France and loved her experiences! Now we are travelling and excited to meet new people, people to show us around, share stories, grab a coffee :)

Interests

We are both qualified English teachers and have been teaching for the past few years in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.

We love practicing our languages, watersports, the sea, the beach, running, walking, exploring dead ends, travelling, trying new foods, cooking, drawing and doodles :)
