ABOUT ME

We are two teachers and we like meeting new people.
As we love a simple and natural way of discovering, we think couchsurfing is the ideal way to get a taste of other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to travel the world and have a little box of keepsakes
I want to grow fruits and vegetables and learn how to cook
I want to write more letters, handwritten ones
I want a large library full of books and stories and poems about life
I want to appreciate all the little things
I want to wake up early and see the sunrise
I want an adventure, many adventures
I want to spend a night on a sailing boat
I want a soulmate
I want to walk through the woods at night in pyjama and flashlights
I want to pick flowers and paint on a Sunday night
I want to take more pictures of ordinary things
I want to skinny-dip
I want to get caught in the rain
I want lots and lots of stories to tell my grandkids
I want blankets and a place to look at the stars
I want best friends, real friends
I want a purpose

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Enjoying life-experience-packed encounters!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We surfed three couches in Lithuania and met some interesting people in Malaysia and China -- just loved it!
