Ciao, we’re Francesco and Francesca and in January we decided to quit our jobs and travel through Asia. It's not a kind of sabbatic year but more like a way to search for our scope in life, our big Whys.
We're writing a blog about this experience on www.wabi-sabi.blog (in Italian though, sorry!) as well as capture things that inspire us on www.instagram.com/thewabisabidiaries

We started with two months in China and now we’re traveling around Japan. Currently, we're in Kyoto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’re traveling across Asia and we’d like to meet new people and try to live in their own cultures as they do.
After this experience, that will last 5 or 6 months, we'll start to host people from all over the world in our hometown, Turin, or wherever we will live so we can definitely exchange the favor!

Music, Movies, and Books

Going to the movies or having a Netflix night in, is one of our favorites! We pretty much like every genre but while we travel we like to view or read something local.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving the comfort and safety of our jobs and homes and travel around Asia to better understand what we want to do in our lives and not just to sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day asking ourselves what could have happened if we only had the courage to do it.

We can teach you some Italian or make some Italian food for you :)
