We are Zoe and Simonius and are loving getting involved in the Couch Surfing life/community. We've started a bit of a world adventure or something along those lines, to see what we can find out about ourselves and about life, and maybe see if there is a little spot out there we want to nestle into for a while, otherwise if we just want to keep moving for the moment, or a bit of both!?

We like to meet interesting new people and discuss ideas about the world, universe and our conscious existence. Our passions are self development, being thoughtful, traveling, language/communication/culture, nature, and having fun! We also love to be active and move our bodies, and integrating this into our connection with the environment around us.

We are also vegan/plant-based so are keen share what lead us to this philosophy and how it contributes to our pathway through life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We recently left Auckland where we had been based for two years, preparing for our biggest adventure yet. We only dabbled in hosting (because it turned out we hadn't turned on accepting guests, whoops!), but really enjoyed it and it opened our eyes to how great couch surfing could be to meet like minded people! Now we are moving around we are excited to meet people in their local environments and then when we settle again after the summer return the favour/pay it forward.

Music, Movies, and Books

We love house music and find the rhythm to be some sort of resonant frequency with the way our brains work, so we use it during our workouts to get into a kind of meditative state. Also like stretching in the morning with podcasts.
Movies that challenge you or make you think. Documentaries. Many books, most of which we have yet to read! 1984 seems to be something we see around us a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to some amazing places in the world and had unique experiences along the way.
