ABOUT US

My husband and I have been living in Dubai for over 7 years, before this we have lived in New Zealand, India, USA and Canada. We are outdoorsy and love hiking. Together, we have travelled to over 29 countries and had some truly special experiences. We love meeting new people and getting introduced to locals when we travel.
On our holidays we spent most of our time outside in nature, mostly hiking around a mountain if we can find it. We also love to try different local food and drinks.

CURRENT MISSION

We travel not to escape life, but because life shouldn't escape us

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world
Spend money on experiences rather than things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always happy to meet and maybe take you around the city. I am not the kind of person who only exists in a city I make it my own. So I am a great guide to any city, I like to know all the nook and corners and find the reason each city in the world is so unique.

We also share our couch and cook for our hosts, almost everyone we meet loves Indian cuisine :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It been a great exchange of thoughts and travel plans when we hosted guests. We have also recently been hosted by CSers in Morocco and had a great time with our hosts. It has been an enriching experience for us to understand new perspectives and hear travel stories
