About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Collect good karma, we got our back scratched, now it`s time to scratch yours.

ABOUT ME

Hey!... What's over there? The endless question, and the reason we keep on going. So many places to go, so little time....
We enjoyed our big travel adventures, spent several years on the road, hitch hiking and feeding our curiosity of unknown places. But now, we are taking some time to recharge and prepare for the next big thing..... more traveling?

PHILOSOPHY

-Take it easy!!!
-"All men are created equal", let`s keep it that way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Give a little, take a little. We did a good job on part two, now we're working on part one.

We slept on many couches, and each experience was unique. It added adventure and spontaneity to our travels, and offered us a new perception to each location.

Great people own couches. And great people sleep on them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

9 day trek in New Zealand`s Stewart Island. Very tough, very rewarding

Hitched a motorcycle ride on the Icefields parkway in Canada

Played mind games with a thief at the Timkat festival in Ethiopia

Walked 45 kms in Burundi trying to hitch a ride.

Witnessed thousands of fireflies

Accidentally swam with a hippo

Survived the Pelni

Hitched a "quick ride to the highway". In the end, took the driver beach camping, got invited back to her place to sleep after our weekend trip, and then, she loaned us her car for several days !!!

Teach, Learn, Share

a game of cards, board games, sports, travel stories
For the hitchhikers, we can write out your next destination in kanji,
show you the local beach or traditional izakaya, seafood restaurant....
We know japan is difficult when it comes to communication, so we can always help you make a booking or find a piece of information

We have some instruments you can play, some toys you can use, juggling balls, rubix cube, kendama, frisbee, skip rope, microscope, depending on the circumstances we might be able to pick you up or drop you off from the train station (save you about a 25 minute walk with your back pack!)
