We're an international couple from Slovakia and America who met in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Our love for traveling, hiking, and skiing eventually brought us to New Mexico. A few years ago, we quit the 9-to-5 grind in order to travel the world with our children. You can see some of our adventures at http://slowviking.com.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We began couchsurfing as a way to augment our ski budget while living in New Mexico, and eventually stayed with 100+ hosts throughout America, Canada, and Europe. The experience taught us that Couchsurfing's truest value comes from the broadening experience of "traveling like a local." We've learned so much (so fast) from our host families and from our guests by spending time together at home.
