Ahlan, konnichiwa, hola, and howdy!
We're a curious couple from Northern California who love to travel and immersing ourselves in different cultures. We both decided to pause our careers in the craft beer industry to take a break and fulfill our dream of traveling the world for a year.. two and a half years later we're still at it with no plans to finish any time soon! We are open minded, considerate, adventurous, and love to try new things :)

Our recent adventures have taken us through Central/South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East before living in both Australia and New Zealand to recharge and work in the fast growing craft beer scene of the Southern Hemisphere. We've now finally embarked on our next safari: SE Asia! See you there~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During our travels, we like to find opportunities to engage with local cultures in their everyday lives. Being able to interact with real people in their own homes creates a more fulfilling and real experience for us. We appreciate any opportunity to stay somewhere that feels more like "home" and the chance to make friends all over the globe :)

We're very much looking forward to paying forward all of our amazing CS experiences when we finally do settle in to our own space one day!

Interests

We are both lovers of excellent beer, adventurous food, live music, and each other (most of the time!).
We are open to any new experiences, and enjoy real conversation with honest people. We also love to cook and bake, especially over a bottle of fermented goodness with new friends!

During our travels, we tend to seek out local breweries and Maker Spaces to connect with while eating our way through every town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've done some pretty fun things in our lives separately, but this world-wide adventure with no end date is certainly the most amazing thing we've done with each other. Our plans are always evolving with the places we visit and the people we meet, and we are excited for whatever experiences we are able to partake in and contribute to :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Reema is a Certified Cicerone who loves to seek out the finest brews every country has to offer, and educate anyone interested in learning more about the world's greatest beverage. She can also teach you how to crochet!

Daniel enjoys designing, creating, and collaborating on a variety of mixed media projects large and small. He's been involved with large music festival art installations, smaller gallery exhibitions, and sharing ideas and information with classrooms throughout Northern California.
You can check out some of his work on Instagram (@dgov) and gander at the maker space he co-founded to Chico, CA (Idea Fab Labs, Chico)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share stories, cook a meal, and always offer a hand if help is needed :) We also have LOADS of great music and movies we're happy to share.
