CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world by connecting with people!

ABOUT ME

WE ADAPT AND LOVE ANY SITUATION!! Crazy city life, camping in the outback, trekking lions in the bush, dancing our ass off in clubs, relaxing on the beach, hiking a mountain..from laid back to gala nights, we love to experience it all!!

PHILOSOPHY

Raff: "Life is a journey, not a destination" "Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself!"

Anthony: "The opposite of Courage is not so much fear as it is conformity." "Most people are searching for happiness outside of themselves. That's a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something you are, and it comes from the way you think."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We just started to participate in CS. Attended a mixer event at a bar and met a lot of great people with similar interests. We have joined a couple groups as well and are planning to host other CS people and hope to be hosted in the near future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We do not have much CS experience yet, but so far it's been a great. We've been to a mixer events in Chicago and met lots of good people. We are very excited to be part of the CS community and contribute! We would love to host and be hosted by other CouchSurfers!
