We're Tamara and Max, a 30 something year old couple from Belgium (Liège) who live to travel.
In 2023 we fullfilled a dream by spending a year on the road, mostly along the silk road. We have been welcomed time and time again with such unbelievable generosity and we now want to return the favor to the travel community. Also welcoming travellers is a nice way to keep on travelling until our next adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our best travel experiences have come through couchsurfing. It is one of the best ways to discover the cultures of the places we visit. Welcoming travellers allows us to keep travelling while we're home, so bring plenty of stories of your adventures.
