Hello, our names are Sydney and Odessa and we are traveling through Europe for the summer and are looking for places to stay!

Sydney:
I have been eager to travel for a very long time, and am so happy to be in Europe. I am very interested in foreign cultures, world politics, art, and fashion. I am a professional acrobat, and aspiring fashion designer.
I am passionate about all aspects of creativity. For fun I like to paint, and take photos. I love meeting new people and hearing new stories. I seek to have diverse cultural knowledge and tend to avoid being too touristy! My idea of a great night would be to go see a local band. I am really looking forward to getting to know you and your country. :)

Odessa:
I am a student in university studying International Relations and an artist in my free time. I love to travel and meet new people along the way. I love coffee, philosophy, music, and nature.

We have been best friends for 15 years and have finally decided to go on a three month trip to Europe together . We are both originally from San Francisco, California and looking forward to meeting new people around the globe. We are both very friendly and respectful and love exploring new places.
