About Me

We are a nomadic, international couple, Dani from Colombia and Nai from England. We love nature and simplicity, good company, new cultures and travelling. From 2012 to 2017, we were on a constant journey through South America, USA and Australia and have finally arrived in Europe! We got married in July 2016 and have chosen to make a more permanent nest in Leipzig, Germany as we both want to go back to Uni eventually. We are so excited to have a whole new continent to explore together and would love to continue our Couchsurfing journey as we have found it, by far, the most authentic way to discover new places.

During our time in South America, we made a series of short films if you are interested in getting a better idea of our 'vibe' - http://vimeo.com/album/2685856 we called it, "El viaje a ninguna parte" ... "The trip into nowhere"

-Philosophy-

We think about life as a beautiful trip, we are very grateful of being able to experience life in this planet, and we know this time is not infinite, so we want to make the time we have here, as wonderful as we can. So many amazing things to discover, to learn, to change, to evolve. Mother nature is the perfect scenario, a spinning sphere of life in the vacuum, and we are part of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We were overwhelmed by our amazing experiences in staying in people's houses in South America and we can't wait to do the same in Europe! When we finally find a permanent place to live, we are so looking forward to repaying the kindness we have been shown.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had awesome experiences with our host, they have been very kind and helpful, thank you all for being so cool. definitely the best way to travel.

Interests

Travelling... Everywhere!

We believe that "Change" is the only constant in life and nature, so we think about life as a current of events that change us while time passes.

We are very interested in getting to know different cultures, different ways to live in this world, with different frames of reference and perspectives. We think this diversity makes life much more beautiful and enriching!
