From July 2015, my partner Shaun and I will be travelling through Southeast Asia. We hope to meet and connect with many people along the way, and hope that this site can help us do it! Whether it's a few nights at your place, a walk around your city, a craft workshop, kayaking, a coffee in a quirky cafe, a night out, shopping, hiking, swimming, lazing at the beach or any number of other activities, we'd really love to be able to meet people and make connections during our trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Shaun and I both have a strong passion for exploration. Exploring new places, experiences and, especially, meeting and connecting with people are so exciting.

Interests

Vannah: Travelling, exploring new places, connecting with people. I love trying new things, drinking tea, boardgames, video games, costumes & costume parties, seeing awesome sights, natural beauty, going for swims/walks/hikes, late night talks, learning languages, trying new delicious food!

Digital and traditional art, as well as animation and photography are some more of my interests. Here's where I post some of it, if you're curious - https://instagram.com/avaketch/
