ABOUT ME

Josh is an avid cycle tourer and traveller, as well as an aspiring educationalist from England. Ana is a passionate reader, writer, dancer, singer, and physiotherapist on the spare time. We met when Josh arrived on his bike to spend a few days and we fell in love. He "lost" is flight to India but we gained a world of adventures to explore together.

PHILOSOPHY

Never turn down adventures, and always look for new ones, by trying to combine what you like the best in life whilst maintaining a balanced mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have both travelled and stayed with locals through couchsurfing and other hospitality exchange sites. Josh has hosted. Ana has met up with different people to guide them on their journeys.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Josh traveled a lot travelling whilst at university, first coachsurfing in Africa. He wrote his university thesis in Hong Kong, couch surfing there too. He has also enjoyed two cycle tours from England to Turkey and England to Spain. He hosted whilst living and working in Australia. Josh then spent a winter working on an organic farm in Spain, 2 summers on an organic farm in Switzerland and a winter in a bakery in Berlin, Germany. He is now training to become a primary school teacher.

Ana has lived in Portugal, Spain and England. She went on to do an Erasmus in Barcelona and, since then, she fell in love with experiencing the true feel of another countries. She has been in Rome and Toscany in Italy, Barcelona, Almeria, and Sevilla in Spain, Warsaw, Krakow, Jelenia Gora, and Wroclaw in Poland and now all over Cornwall, Bristol, Bath, and London in England. Her first experience with couchsurfing was in Warsaw and then Krakow in Poland and it wouldn't be possible to feel better about it. She didn't speak the language or even knew how to pronounce the names of the places, but with help of the locals got to see where the most untached places were and to get a feel of how it would be to be living there. Since then, she tries to promote the same with the people that come across her path.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We both gave up on completely diferent paths to be with each other. Josh was going to India to be an artist. Ana was going to the Carabean to be a physio and they eneded up deciding to stay in England to be together :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We're always trying to learn as much as we possibly can from the people we meet and the places we go. Just to warn you we both are notoriously a big question askers and love to listen and learn about peoples experiences.
