About Me

Ben and Zoey. We are a British couple and have been together for 3 years. We met whilst living in New Zealand and have been travelling all over the world since. Most recently we spent a year living and working in Canada and are now on a mission to learn Spanish, which has bought us to Central America. Our plan is to spend 2 months taking lessons, and then via couch-surfing and volunteering, spend as much time with local people as possible to practice what we learn.
We are both 26 years old, and love to travel,meet new people, and learn new things. We spend a lot of time outdoors and do a lot of sports.

ABOUT ME

My 3 favorite things are

-Extreme sports
-Traveling, and
-Meeting new people

I Wake board, Snowboard, Skateboard, Surf occasionally, enjoy Climbing, Hiking, Kayaking and love to try my hand at anything extreme, i have done the biggest bunjy jump in the world, white water rafted the second best rapid in the world, abseiled, zip wired and swung across a gorge.

I love to travel, everywhere and anywhere, seeing new places and cultures, meeting people you otherwise wouldn't ever have the chance to, getting myself into crazy situations. Travel teaches you so much you otherwise would never learn and most of all gives you some awesome stories!

Anyway, I like to think I am a very happy, outgoing, friendly person and i am very grateful for the opportunities that I have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, and i think the best way to see a country or town is to meet locals who have the inside knowledge. You learn a lot more this way and you also get to meet great people.

Favorite,

Book- My side of the mountain

Music- All music, the best of any genre is bound to be good, Rock, Dub-step, Hip Hop, Pop, you name it I like it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bloukrans bridge bunjy jump south Africa, The highest bunjy in the world.

Standing with your feet half hanging over the edge with 216m of air between you and some rocks is pretty amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently learning how to speak Spanish
I also used to do gymnastics so I am sure i could teach you how to do handstands or cartwheels haha

I guess I could also teach about the places I have been, my experiences, the best places to go etc
