We're newlyweds who always dreamed of backpacking around the world. So we quit our jobs and took off!

We are easy going, open minded people who love a good glass of wine, a great laugh and interesting conversation. We also enjoying being outdoors, whether it be hiking in Patagonia or relaxing on the beaches of Costa Rica.

Especially looking forward to learning about different cultures and making friends on our travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to meet locals during our travels. We think this is the best way to truly experience a place.

Interests

We love to walk around for hours exploring new places and hidden gems. When we're not walking around, we love to hike, practice yoga, or just enjoy a good book at the beach. While traveling, we try and learn as much about the local foods and culture, hopefully being able to take some good recipes home with us to share with our friends and families.
