There are actually two of us! We met in Peace Corps Madagascar 7 years ago and have been traveling ever since! We're both writers and do a variety of odd jobs as we go. Our current goal is to spend Christmas on every continent and right now we just have Oceania and Antarctica left! We love nature, art, and a good casual conversation about free will. We're both very laid back and easy going. We have two backpacks, one for our clothes and toothbrushes, and one for art supplies and board games.

Kiva (bearded one): Graphic design, biophysics, avid reader, lover of all things surreal, will point out every animal and try to pet every dog, old gentle soul just looking to vibe

Aliah (non-bearded one): Yoga instructor, English/Special Ed teacher, vegetarian, horror movie enthusiast, textile artist, would love to tell you fun facts about random things, beloved by small children and grandmas everywhere

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

We're looking to meet people and find places to stay along the way.
