Justine and I met while living in Los Angeles and are getting ready for a big adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are going to be doing a lot of traveling in April and May and would love to get to know Europe like a local. We'll be doing the hostel and Airbnb thing but were thinking Couch Surfing would be another great option. We want to know where the hidden gems are. Nothing is better than a recommendation or a new friend to show you around.

When we get back home and settle down we will pay it forward and do the same, but unfortunately we are unavailable to host currently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Melissa:
The Vineman ironman distance triathlon in 2012. The craziest, ballsy, and physically and emotionally taxing thing I've ever done. 10 months of training to swim 2 miles, bike 110 miles, and run 26 miles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very tidy and love to cook. Very respectful and just want to learn about new areas like a local, not a tourist.
