We are two friends travelling together and looking for adventures and new friends! We are originally from California and would love to host you in exchange for having us if you ever visit the states :)

I'm terrible at planning but love to have adventures! I've

Explored an abandoned gold mine in Joshua Tree National Park.
Jumped off 30-foot cliffs into the ocean in Hawaii.
Swum in a very icy lake in Mokelumne Wildnerness.
Backpacked with complete strangers.
Found the Shit Fountain in Chicago (it glistens).
Painted a mural in my college dorm room.
Was apparently in the same emergency room as Robin Williams, though I don't remember it.
Lived most of my life near San Francisco, but still have never walked across the Golden Gate Bridge :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over the span of a few months, I drank an entire half-pound of loose-leaf peppermint tea (mostly) by myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching: Want to learn some physics, math, or programming? I can also make a mean peanut butter sandwich if you wanted an insight into fine-dining in America.

Learning: New languages, new dance forms, different attitudes and perspectives about life, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We'll take you out for dinner or a drink! Let's talk about books and philosophy. Let's not talk about my dumb president.

Activity I enjoy: getting a lil' tipsy then running around and drawing things.
