Hello everyone! 😃

We are Kelvin (Brazilian) and my soulmate friend Kira ❤️(Australian) backpackers🎒
Traveling the world and creating amazing memories along the way.

Currently volunteering in Tirana- Albania 🇦🇱

I joined couchsurfing in 2019 hosting travelers at home in Brazil, and having an amazing experience!!
now it’s my turn 😄

I’ve started traveling in August 2024, and in June 2025 I met Kira, since then we have lived wonderful experiences, learning new cultures, trying different food, enjoying new music, and, of course, sharing some of my experiences and stories too.
We are super easygoing , pet-friendly, always up for a good chat and ready to explore around!

If you’ve got a busy schedule, no problem at all! We are totally happy exploring on our own and making sure we won’t disrupt your routine, but is always nice spending some moments together.

We can’t wait to connect with you!

LET’S CELEBRATE THE LIFE ✨

💫 SOME CS SUGGESTIONS ✨

🔹 HOSTS, update your hosting status. We write personal messages every time, and about 70% of replies are “I’m traveling/I don’t live there anymore/I already have guests.” it wastes a lot of time to write personal messages when people can’t even host. change your status or block dates that you are not available. everyone benefits. 💫🍃

🔹 Don’t decline requests without saying a word. sure, if it’s a copy-paste message, that’s fine (not my case). but especially if you’re asking people to read your profile, take a moment to respond. also, read profiles of other people if you ask them to read yours. it just makes sense. ✨🪐

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to meet people, live their routine, go deep in their cultural lives, share histories and have unforgettable experiences

Music, Movies, and Books

We really enjoy music with beats, especially instrumental tracks or songs with random lyrics that match the rhythm, for example Sofi Tukker, particularly because of their use of unexpected words, including Portuguese, in their lyrics. And I was a big fan of The Balck eyed Peas.

About books, my favorite is “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”—I really connect with its story and themes.
