We have only lived in the United States, but I (Amanda) have done a lot of traveling since I turned 18. Over the past couple of years, I've traveled to South Africa, the U.K., China, and even North Korea for a day. I'm currently in South Korea and am leaving next week to go to Nepal. After, I'll be in Ireland, Scotland, Iceland and Jordan. Kyle has never been abroad, so I'm bringing him along to experience the adventures that fuel my passion

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We live for spontaneous adventures and thrive on adrenaline. This month, we graduated from university, so we quit our jobs to travel the world. We would love the opportunity to meet local friends and experience the cultures of people around the globe. One of our rules is that we promise to not overstay our welcome. We promise to only stay for 1-3 nights! A good friend of mine named Evan Bartlett couchsurfed for a cross country bike ride in the United States. He has told me to try couchsurfing ever since and Amanda and I are so excited to start! :D
