Hi,

We are Ben and Ella, a couple from the UK travelling the world together. We're in our mid 20s and have a plan to travel far and wide over the next few years.

Currently travelling in WA and will be headed to NZ in the new year!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend (Ella) and I are currently travelling in Western Australia. We're excited to meet new people and experience new cultures!

We're on Couchsurfing to meet new people in the areas we are visiting. We've been helping out on Workaways over the past few years and have met loads of great people that we would never have had the opportunity to meet otherwise and we are hoping Couchsurfing will provide these same opportunities!

Interests

We love to go hiking, whether in the mountains, forests, or anywhere the path takes us!

On our last trip around the world we also spent a lot of our time tent camping in awesome national parks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Burkina Faso (West Africa) for 3 months in a remote, rural village, with a local family. It was 3 months of living and experience what its like to live life below the poverty line.

Ella has travelled extensively across the world, with trips to New Zealand and Australia, central and southeast Asia, North and South America, as well as Europe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share some great stories from our travels and we hope to engage in some good conversations about any sorts of topics.

We are happy to cook and share meals too!
