My partner, Jeff and I have a case of the travel bug and will not stop until we are satisfied! We started by backpacking western Canada, and then decided to go global. We started in November 2014, with our journey beginning in China, heading south, tasting a bit of Thailand and south east Asia. We lived in Australia for a year on a holiday work visa, explored the stunning landscape and wilderness of New Zealand. Then had an eventful 1 week island vacation in Fiji where we survived the worse Cyclone in 20 years! Starting in California, we drove a camper van across the lower USA to visit some family in Texas. Driving north we arrived back home March 2016.

Since home Nadia has done multiple trips to Europe, and Jeff completed a 4 month kayak trip from Vancouver to Alaska with his brother.

We are currently on our second largest Tour, South America! On January 4,2019 we landed in Cartagena, Colombia and after 11 months through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia we had to close this chapter in Chile. With a “we will be back!”

We are easy to get along with, enjoy a good movie with friends. We are always ready to go out and experience the nightlife of a city, or are perfectly happy staying in for a night relaxing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are couch surfing because we believe in free trade, and hope that once we have decided to settle down in a country, that we can open our doors to travellers in need. we would love to repay someone with the kindness a stranger had given us. keep the good karma circulating!

Interests

Music! We absolutely love music! specifically the old classical rock! however we are always ready for a good dubstep or drum and bass show!

The Great Outdoors! camping or exploring the wildlife in a new environment is always a must when we travel! what better way to get intouch with locals and experience the true nature of a country then by getting down to the roots and spending a few nights in nature!

Teach, Learn, Share

We love to learn! the best way to learn is by swapping stories, or experiencing things for yourself! we are open to culture, food, music, anything you are willing to trade! knowledge should be free, and that is what we love about traveling, is that you can share stories with fellow travellers, learn from eachother and perhaps teach eachother a thing or two about new or existing topics!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nadia: I can share my love and passion for building and general construction. I am a registered Contractor at home, and I have a passion for creating!

Jeff: I can share my deep knowledge for music, art, and politics, there isn't one conversation that I can't share some knowledge in!

We can both share our stories of travel; and love for plants, gardening and botanics.
