About Me

My Heartner, Nature and I are soul grateful to be celebrating 11 years traveling and being in relationship.
We were traveling around South America for 9 months and were there when the Pandemic hit. our last traveling manifestation was a 6 month stint at a farm in Ecuador as Caretakers of a small property. We have been in Ann Arbor Michigan since the summer of 2020, when we attempted to fly to Amsterdam and Greece, but were not allowed due to all the restrictions. So now we are resorting to our plan B which is to drive our little red sports car to Florida and see where we may want to settle down. First we just want to explore, be near the beach and meet some kindred spirits.

Throughout our travels, we had the privilege to travel to Thailand, Bali, India (for a year and 6 months in Goa) We love to shop at the local markets, and we are passionate about cooking for ourselves. We take pride using healthy ingredients keeping ourselves healthy and eating super fresh foods. Lots of fruits and vegetables. We spent 3 wonderful years living in Maui Hawaii together. We learned lots about living sustainably, using the wonderful resources that mother earth shares with us and gives so freely. we made great use of the fruits like jackfruit, mangoes, lilikoi and banana. Making healthy snacks to share and sell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like such a wonderful way to connect with people who live in the places that are new to us. We love the possibility of meeting great people on our journey. We are both really great chefs. We are very health conscious so every thing we make is health and delicious. We love to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Paris for a year when I was 17 with my mother. this gave me a lifelong thirst for travel I traveled to Bali for the first time in 2000 for 2 months. The second time I went was in 2008 and this is my third time in 2016. I was in India and Thailand in 2007 and 2010. This is the first time traveling with a partner and I am loving it. The times I travelled on my own prepared me for who I am today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love belly dancing and will always be happy to share any dance moves to whomever is interested. We are free thinkers and definitely think outside the box. We are open to discuss alternative living and are on the path of magic. love and bliss

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are crystal mystics who have a lust for life and making the most of every moment. We love to play with nurturing, healing foods. The whole process of finding the freshest foods at local markets, using medicinal ingredients like lots of fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric, shallots, onions... and the magic of preparing the food, which Nature does with such brilliance and finesse. we make amazing jewelry and use precious stones and crystals that we find all over the world.

We are open-minded, flexible, positive and fun.
