SHORT VITA

Staying with locals when traveling is a fantastic idea. But not when constantly being scared of your safety and your wellbeing. Especially women and queer people face a much higher risk doing authentic traveling such as Couchsurfing. That’s why Nora came up with the idea for a queer version: Quouch. After living and working in Brazil for 3 years, studying Cognitive Science afterwards and enrolling in a coding bootcamp, Nora felt equipped enough to start Quouch. Together with her late co-founder, Liz (she/her) and the amazing team of Ross (they/them, Babken(they/them) and Beth(they/them), she created the global community of Quouchies which is now active in +60 countries.
