Hi there, lovely Couchsurfing community! We're Kathe and Raúl, a couple who loves nature and enriching ourselves with new experiences. We believe that small actions can have a big impact on harmonizing our beautiful planet, Earth. We're both environmental science professionals and we're about to embark on a NEW ADVENTURE: living in AUSTRALIA to study, grow as professionals but most importantly, as human beings.

We love diving into the world of books and words. We enjoy reading and writing, which allows us to explore different perspectives and share our ideas. Additionally, we're passionate about biking, hiking, and staying active through exercise. One of our greatest passions is plants, especially bonsai trees, succulents, and cacti. We find a special connection with nature through them and a way to learn about patience and care.

We consider ourselves kind and friendly people, always willing to share a smile and an interesting conversation. We love watching sunsets, those magical moments that remind us of life's simple beauty.

Our Language Adventures
We're in the exciting process of learning English. We love practicing with the people we meet on our adventures, as we believe cultural exchange is one of the best ways to learn and grow.

Collectors of Memories
We love collecting fridge magnets from the different places we visit. Each one is a little reminder of our experiences and the wonderful people we've met along the way.

If you're looking for an enriching Couchsurfing experience filled with good conversations, quiet moments, and a touch of adventure, we'd love to meet you. We hope to share a bit of our lives with you and learn from yours!

See you soon!

Kathe and Raúl

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

We joined Couchsurfing because we love meeting people from all over the world and sharing real experiences. We're looking for more than just a place to stay – we want to connect with travelers, swap stories, and learn about different cultures. We think every encounter is a chance to make amazing memories and see the world in a new way. We're also stoked about hosting travelers who, like us, value connecting with people and learning from each other.
