OLD DESCRIPTION:
We are Roberta & Simon, a couple from Turin.

We like travelling but the old fashion way: we hitchhike, we meet local people through volunteering activities, we try to live new inspirational experiences, we often find ourselves lost in unplanned locations.

We are always willing to help our hosts in exchange for food and accommodation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We used to participate in CS events until CS became a profit company.
I hope they won't ban us for saying so since we know many people have been banned. :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We founded an Italian travelling blog, unfortunately only for Italian people:
www.viaggiareconlentezza.com

It simply means "travelling slowly".

In May 2011 we decided to start a trip from Turin (Italy) to Lisboa (Portugal) without using any money at all.
It was one of the best adventures of our lives!

Simon had the chance to talk about it in a TEDx talk:

We also published a simple photo slide video to resume our no-money adventure.

If you are Italian, you can read the day-by-day diary of the no money trip here:
