Overview
About Me
Young married couple on an old-fashioned adventure. Out to see the world on a shoestring budget, and documenting it every step of the way!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
We're travelling as much as we can on a tight budget and are desperate to see the world properly, through the eyes of a local.
We also want to extend that arm back to people travelling to Birmingham. We would love to spend time with you, home or away!
Interests
Writing music, poetry and general other nonsense comes very high on our shared interests. We both love to cook and learn traditional recipes from all over the world.
We really enjoy learning about the culture of a place and finding those secret little haunts usually missed by tourists.
From the hustle bustle of a city to the stillness of nature, we're always searching for that indescribable joy you get when everything just feels right.

Music, Movies, and Books
To put this all in to a few paragraphs is difficult, but as long as there's music, we're happy.
We enjoy relaxing indie music, pop hits and pumped-up rock. From Norah Jones to Foo Fighters, Katy Perry to King Blues, we like a variety of music. Our preferences only really stretch to meaningful lyrics!
We can enjoy rom-coms or gritty dramas depending on our mood. Even bad films can be good films when you just want to relax!
We definitely don't read as much as we'd like to, but all-time favourites are the Song of Ice and Fire series and The Secret History by Donna Tartt
