Paula Swenson

Paula and Steve very nice couple:) They are really funny and warm. I miss you already;) please turn back to Turkey or adopt me as a son Paula:)

Traitors in our midst ;) they weren't guests or surfers, we knew we would love them, they were just a perfect match and we could have had eternal conversations. Paula and Steve are the walking evidences of how Couchsurfing makes the world a better place. Thanks for finding us, for being truly inspirational and for showing so much love to our buns! See you!

We stayed one night with Paula and Steve
in their charming town and enjoyed lots of interesting conversation. They have a refreshingly different philosophy that really made me want to simplify my life. One thing Steve said really got my attention - If you don't like the view, take a different road. Thanks to you both for your hospitality

Steve and Paula were so friendly that I felt comfortable straight away. They really inspired me to think of a different way of living, a life without meteralistic objects. Who needs them? Paula is right also, her town is very nice. Thanks for the great conversation, soft blankets and yummy breakfast!

Steve and Paula are very sensitive & nice people. I really enjoyed talking about literature with them. When I first saw Steve, I thought that I would host Hemingway and his wife.:)))) He really looks like Hemingway. I am very glad to have talked about life and shared ideas with them. They are extremely positive. Hope I’ll meet them again.

While couch surfing in Vienna, Paula and Steve were hosted at the same location. They are a fabulous couple. Very interesting and friendly. I had a wonderful time getting to know them and wished that we had had more time together.

Paula & Steve such a nice couple... we did not spend a lot time together but I enjoyed every minute of time we shared with chatting at our patio. I know that we'll meet again soon and hope to know more them at this time... I wish you all the best things in your new life at CR

- Ah ! I did not want to leave their new town in CR. It was a beautiful town and they have a great house there. To walking around was amazing for me but I think they get tired because of my photo stops :)) Thank you for everything Paula & Steve and I will come again, ther are still more pics are waiting to be taken there ;)

paula and steve are really nice people, and i enjoyed having them out to the house for the day. great travelers and open minds, the kind of folks i like. i'll enjoy our paths crossing again soon.

I met Paula and Steve with my parents.They hosted us for a couple of days. Very warm and welcoming, it has been a very dood meeting. They've been there to give us informations about Bursa,and we had the opportunity to share one whole day all together, wich has been the time to exchange and share more.
I recommand them,as they are just both so nice, with sense of humour.

Paula and Steve are very easy going, helpful and good humored people. It is really interesting to talk to them and to share experiences. Theır apartment in Bursa is the nicest and most comfortable we have had since we are traveling. After washıng all our clothes and sleepıng bags at their place and after these two relaxıng days wıth them we felt really refreshed for going on.

No words enough to describe these two fantastic people!!! :-))))
Met in Bupapest, met in Greece, met in Turkey, then Bp again n each time having great time n great experiences n something somewhere is coming again for sure... looking forward excited :-)

I met with Paula and Steve in the first CS meeting in Bursa. I am happy that we are meeting time to time since then and sharing some great time together. They are understanding, all positive, and both have a sensible, artistic point of view towards... well, everything related with life! I am sure you are gonna enjoy each piece of time with them.

As a couple she and Steve are perfect. They almost convince me that there can be really good and long and happy relationship as they have:) However we didnt spend so much time together we talked some important points and i guess we understood eachother clearly:)i am so happy to have hosted and met them. by the way thnx for nice gift for my underprocess bar:) hope to see you izmir

Paula and Steve are great!!! They host me and a friend of mine in their big confortable and nice apartmnet... they collect for us a lot of informations about the city.. Paula made a gorgeous and unforgetable breakfast... with so many hot and handmade gauffres... they bring us in a nice and very good fish restaurant... beautifull people in a beautifull town! ciao paula ciao steve!!

I liked Paula based on a couple of emails we exchanged. We finally met and she impressed me with her warm attitute, understanding of the people and tolerance to the local values. I'd love to meet her again. I'd advice you to do so, too.

Paula and Steve hosted me and two my friends. I'm very happy that exactly they were our hosts in Bursa. Paula and Steve seemed to me experienced people with wide range of interests, so there are lot of things to talk about with them. I think they are also quite opened to new challenges and experiences, and that I like. Thanks for time we spent together!

We met with these beautiful people at our first CS meeting in Bursa. They were so nice and talkative. Surely we will have great time with them during their stay in Bursa..!! See you "Teacher..!" :))

İ love people that have the courage and vision to follow their dreams. Paula and Steve are such people. They have a strange love which binds them, and while they both work at the same job, they each maintain a high level of individuality. They understand the adventurer spirit. Good people to be around.

Super fun time exploring the city and sniffing out the dusty silk road to find a wonderful small workshop producing handmade silk scarves. Paula and Steve were great guides, easy going folks who just love seeing the world.

I hosted Paula and Steve for 8 nights in Duesseldorf. They were great guests and I very much enjoyed having them around. They are welcome back any time!

Paula and Steve stayed with me in Seattle and were perfect guests! I really wish that I had more time to spend with them while visiting, but we've all agreed that our paths will cross again; hopefully sooner than later! We had the opportunity to share some stories about the joys of life, our travels, and the paths we're taking through this journey. A BIG "thank you" to Paula and Steve for choosing me as their host while in Seattle!
