About Me

Hi! We’re an international couple who studied in Vancouver and have recently graduated.
We share our home with two lovely cats 🐾

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first used Couchsurfing nine years ago during my exchange in Taiwan, and it completely changed how I travel. I met so many interesting people and collected stories I never would have found in a hotel.

In 2026, we went on a pretty wild road trip across Canada. Along the way, the Couchsurfing community showed us an incredible amount of kindness, and it really stuck with us.

We love using Couchsurfing to meet locals because staying with locals is way more fun than staying in hotels. It’s honestly the best way to understand a city. We’re settled in Vancouver, and we’re just as excited to host surfers from different places and hear their stories too.

Couchsurfing is a nice reminder that the world isn’t that bad after all.

If you’re visiting Vancouver, our couch is waiting for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When we’re surfing, we’re respectful of the host’s home, time, and boundaries.
We always bring a small gift as a thank-you.
We communicate clearly and try to make things easy.
Happy to help with small things if needed.
We’re calm, easygoing, and low-drama to live with.
If you enjoy postcards or snail mail, we’d also be happy to send one afterward.
If the host would like to hang out, we can drive and cover the gas.
