ABOUT ME

Salesi: timeless, laid back, loyal & conscientious.

Lani: studious, idealistic, writer.

We are both into sustainable living and learning through travel and like to listen. Learning new skills.

Happiest when...together, talking, walking, seeing new things, discussing new experiences, reminiscing on the memories bringing them to life again.

PHILOSOPHY

Theres only two things in life to do: Stay breathing and keep achieving

Hosting you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We surfed all over Europe in Norway, Belgium, Greece, and Germany in 2012/2013 and returned in 2017/2018 and I'm (lea Lani) going back in 2019 winter/spring.

many people have criticism for cs but if its used for the best intentions it is a connector. we still stay in touch with friends met here and look forward for more.

Weʻve hosted in Vavaʻu and ʻUiha, Tonga and Suva, Fiji.

We like to show people the ropes and prefer people with self-sufficient adventurous, but chill and laid back.
