Hey guys!
Jacoba and Holland live in LA county in San Pedro (port town near Long Beach). If you want to give a dirty port town a try, give us a call!

Holland (25) is a photographer/graphic designer who loves interesting people and stories, oddities of the world and not having one true home! Also learning to play the bendir (frame drum)!

Jacoba (23) is a graphic designer and drifter who loves reading, crafts, and is learning how to play the Turkish lute!

We love to travel and are open minded to any and all new experiences. We’ve slept on boats and trains, cars and planes, have hitchhiked and frolicked, and now we are in the US for the time being exploring the country :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends and see the city from a local’s perspective, the ins and outs, good and bad, beautiful and ugly!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived 20 hours in Iceland in socks and sandals.

Also survived sleeping in a public park and being dive-bombed by hungry beach bats in Savona, Italy and hauling our large backpacks around for many, many kilometers. Ask us for the whole story and you will not be disappointed

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach how to skateboard and how to make vegan food taste good

Want to learn Dutch and how to use chop sticks

If you play an instrument, we would love to try jamming! Both of us are new to our instruments but we love making music with others and dancing!
