Hello! We are Liam from England and Sabrina from Austria. We’ve been living and working in Oslo, Norway for nearly three years now. But recently we have just set out on our jolly travels.
We discovered couchsurfing on our last big adventure, and it became a huge part of our journey.
Through couchsurfing we met so many amazing and kind-hearted people, who showed us their countries in a way that we would have never experienced without them.
The travel bug has still not left us, and we are so happy to be on the road again, meeting beautiful people and seeing amazing places.

For anyone who wants to have a peek at our trip:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We first started using couch surfing to try and save our pennies, but we soon found out what great experience it is, and a more interesting way of travelling. Now for us it's not about the pennies any more, but about the people you meet and the experience you share.
It feels like a more authentic way of travelling, because we get to know people and see how they live. It also is more exciting and fun than simply staying in a hostel, since our hosts usually know their city/village/town better than any travel guide could! We've had the best times couchsurfing, so we like to do it as much as possible.

doing a 10-day meditation retreat in Yangon, meditating for 11 hours daily, no talking or communicating in any way. It was a challenging but life-changing experience
