CURRENT MISSION

Travel all the countries and territories in the World

ABOUT US

Hi, we are two best friends and together we travelled around the world in 2008-2010 and 2011. During our travels we discovered that meeting new people, learning from other cultures and helping each other were the best parts of our trip.

We also learned that we don't need a lot of stuff and we don't agree anymore with the idea that everything is about money. We love the sharing-economy, would love to live in a world that is sustainable and selfsupporting but haven't figured out yet how to do it.

We decided to change our lifestyle and that's how we got back on the road again in 2014.

Our passion is to visit all the beautiful places in the world, but we also have a big love for Coffee and Chocolate.

We are more than happy to help with anything in return for a stay. Just let us know.

We both are happy, open minded, sociable, outgoing, friendly and hospitable. We have a great sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Tessa: Be happy for this moment, it's your life!
Alie: Don't worry, be Happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For now we are traveling. It's the people we meet that makes the experience the best. We want to be part of the sharing-economy and are trying to help with a lot of projects around the world. In between projects we would like to connect with you to learn more about your country, place or culture. That's why we want to couch surf with you.

In return we can help you with whatever you want. Just let us know. Please note that Tessa has a passion for baking and Alie for Photography
