CURRENT MISSION

Explore, Learn, Live, Love

ABOUT ME

We are both architects and very interested in the whole field of design and the arts. When I'm able to escape my work shackles, I love to paint and dance; for Matthew it's playing the guitar and reading something interesting.

Learning and experiencing new things is our pursuit in life and we share interests in architecture, art, music, food and Dylan Moran. My head is usually somewhere in the stars while Matthew (even though he looks like little prince!) is more down to Earth :).

PHILOSOPHY

“The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.”

"The only thing that is constant is change"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've stayed with a number of different people in Finland and Poland, all of which have been extremely positive experiences. Have been able to experience lots of different perspectives and really get to know the ins and outs of the places we've stayed.
We get a lot of couch requests, so if you'd like to stay with us, please try and write a personal message and include our names :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... What did we learn at architecture school?... We could teach you how to draw a line, how to survive an 'all nighter', and why architects wear large geometric glasses and only wear black!

Also we're happy to teach English, Matthew has some experiencing as on a daily basis he helps me to perfect my English and to explain the deep secrets and complications of many mysterious English phrases and idioms!
