Me and my partner Josh are making our way around France at the moment and are trying to learn new skills as we travel, mainly through helpx. We have been learning about sustainable living, and working on self-built house projects, since august.

We get on with most people and are keen to share and learn as much as possible with the people we meet!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To meet new people and see new places.
We've found couch surfing leads us to the loveliest people in a new location, and there's nothing more humbling than people welcoming you into their homes.

Thanks to all our hosts so far!

Centres d'intérêt

We both love films, arts and music.
I am a metalsmith, and design and make sculptural and jewellery pieces. I also worked in a primary school part time. Josh has been teaching for two years in the UK.

Our dream is to build our own eco house one day. We are keen to be part of a big Green movement that extends further than its current stereotypes.. Sustainable living shouldn't need to be a hippy dream! It's just super sensible. We have loved meeting lots of people on our travels who are breaking stereotypes.
