Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We surfed a lot and now it is our time to give back to wonderful CS community and host :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our family so far hosted:
Kataryna and Kseniia from Ukraine (before CS),
Leszek and Monika from Poland,
Marry from Brasil and
Juan from Argentina
Pedro and Maria from Portugal
Samantha (USA) and Tristan (Gibraltar)
Charlotte Wong (China)
They were all very nice people and each hosting was a great experience:)

Our US trip (autmn 2009) was amazing mostly because of all the great people we met through CSing. We thank all our hosts, Mellisa and Ian, Kriss, Jordan, Michelle, Will and Jeff, Ismael, Christine. Without you this trip wouldn't be as amazing, interesting and fun as it was, also it would be shorter :)

Interests

We share our interest and love for food, movies, books, art, design, music, going out, hanging with our friends, sports, nature and of course travelling. we love trees.

You could call us foodies. We are very pasionate about our food. Luckily our mom loves to cook and she makes specially yummy desserts. We can also make some decent dishes but still are much better theorists and tasters than cooks. Apart from eating we love to read about food and watch food shows.
Sports-we both absolutely love skiing, in summer we love to swimm in our beautiful Adriatic sea. I(Valerija) love to hike also while Andrija prefers to run upon the mountain.
Art-our dad adores contemporary art and design so we are also a bit infected with it.
