About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see Europe, get to know some locals, and have a trip to remember!

ABOUT ME

We are a group of five guys, ages 19 - 22, traveling through Scandinavia and western Europe. Although some people might balk at the thought of five guys staying over, we promise to be respectful and help out in exchange for your hospitality. We are a fun group!

PHILOSOPHY

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, eggnog in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "Woo Hoo what a ride!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to CouchSurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two friends of ours in Finland had many CouchSurfers stay at their apartment and it was always so exciting to hear they had some new visitors! One twenty-something guy enjoyed the Finnish experience so much he applied and get accepted to a school there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived the Finnish winter - about three hours of sunlight per day - without getting depressed.

Teach, Learn, Share

We enjoy discussing differences between your culture and ours... you could learn something about life in the States and we could learn about life in your country.
