From Jeff Thompson Shasta Lake, United States Aug 4 Positive Shannon and Cote responded to my last minute request and let me stay a night with them. They are very interesting people with lots of travel experience and photo's to share. Their cat is wild and provides constant entertainment. I very much enjoyed my stay. Visit them (or host them) if you get the chance!
From Sean Lawrence Walnut Creek, United States Nov 29, 2007 Positive My girl and I surfed with Shannon and Cote for several nights. They are truely amazing people. Open Minded and extremely welcoming. They took great care of us... We could never wish for anything more...
Thanks
From Derek Wallace North Hollywood, United States Oct 28, 2007 Positive Okay, so I want you to imagine that you're exploring the Bay Area and you start contacting locals about hanging out, maybe surfing if their schedule is free. And this AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME couple respond, saying come over quickly, let's hang out, and you do, and you immediately leap into deep conversation about the environment, international politics, world travel and the role of religion in various cultures. Then, they offer you some of the best Chilean adult beverages you've ever had. And then, they share with you their photos and the DVD slideshow of their globetrotting adventures. And then you go shopping together and spend a whopping total of $2.32 on dinner ingredients so you can cook a delicious, healthy meal together. And then the three of you head up to the local college for coffee with another Couchsurfer, enjoy the hazy view from the top of the campus tower, have lunch in the marina and then don't want to leave because you are just absolutely falling in love with them, but you have so many other locals to meet up with and you come to the realization that these people are now a part of your life and that makes you very, very happy. You can imagine that...but I don't have to. I'm living it. :)
From Diana and Jesper Magnusson Morin Ljusne, Sweden Oct 22, 2007 Positive I had such a great time with Shannon and Cote. Me and my friend stayed at their place while we took a weekend class up in Berkeley. They made us feel so welcome right from the get-go (they had even inflated the air-mattress when we got there). I would absolutely recommend these couhcsurfer friends to other people !
From Lemonia Palmantouras Angleur, Belgium Aug 3, 2007 Positive They are so sweet, so nice, so easy-going!!! They found all that they saw or done exceptional, and through their eyes the life is exceptional. I would like to host again CS as this ones!
From RHONDA S Sydney, Australia Jun 30, 2007 Positive Genuine Nice young Couple. We were happy to host Shannon & Cote at our home. They were very easy to get on with & had good stories to tell along with good photo's of their travels... Oh! & it helps Shannon if the host has cable TV so Cote can give her some "time out" - just prop him up to watch soccer & he would be there in his "own world" for ages ;) I am sure !
From Michael Duran Polcenigo, Italy Apr 3, 2007 Positive It was nice to meet them. A very interesting story they have about how they met -- [Borat voice] ver-y nice. We drank wine, played the bongo and guitar, and just had plain ol' fun. Good people. I wish the best for them. I hope to see them again in this crazy world of ours.
From Ryan and Libby Cook / Kingscote Rotorua, New Zealand Feb 20, 2007 Positive Awsome people, they were so nice to us that they came from out of town to met us and show us around town and give us top advice on things to do localy and all over the world while we are traveling, we have really appreciated everything so much and really look forward to seeing them again. Ryan & Libby
From RABBL Mendoza, Argentina Feb 8, 2007 Positive Shanon y Cote son una pareja muy simpatica y abierta. Nos llevaron a conocer y así compartimos una muy linda tarde de playa y mates mendocinos. Tomamos ricos vinos, conocimos nuevas comidas y disfrutamos como nunca la vista de un atardecer en el mar y la historia de su viaje por el mundo. Muchas gracias por todo... VIRGINIA Y RALF
From Ermanno Traietta Busto Arsizio, Italy Jan 31, 2007 Shannon and Cote are really wonderful person, really kind and helpful. I had nice days with them and thanks to their suggestion I enjoy day & night in Vina and Valparaiso.See you in Italy!They come to my house in Italy and we had some really funny days. I think they enjoy my mam's food and countryside around my town. hope to see you soon guys!
From Orhan Celik Athens, Greece Jan 17, 2007 Positive
They are real cute couple. Their love that could continue over borders against every kind of diffuculty reminds me and my love Maria. I know I will succeed with maria like they have done it.
Unfortunately Cote get some cold when he came (he became ill on the way, he did not get cold in my house- I do not accept any of my guests getting ill in my place :P ) and we could not go around so much. But we did have some nice exchange of ideas. Its so provocative to get the motivation of travelling when I see these young couple travelling the world for 10 months! If you are a home cat that is comfortable with your ideas of not travelling, do not deal with them :P
Cote and Shannon, I hope I could show you Turkish hospitality. I could have done better but you were staying too short :( And you forgot the Apple Tea in here, I hope you had the chance of picking one from the airport.
From Fara Santiago Santiago de Compostela, Spain Jan 13, 2007 Positive a nice international cooking interchange xperience!!! they came in a moment in which raise elbow was a must and sure we did! the only turn down was they didn't try local meals like octopus and i had to face the whole dish :) and once again we could find how things that you think that are only usual in yer area also happen in far away places.
From Nicolas Garcia Salamanca, Spain Dec 15, 2006 Positive nice and friendly people
From Erkan Can Selcuk, Turkey Nov 16, 2006 Positive Unfortunality I wasnt able to host them. but we meet for to have some tea, I try to inform them as mush as i can. But I had two Australian couchsurfers so we are all had nice chat. When I have the possibility I will definitly will visit them...
