Where to start! I’m currently travelling around Europe with my girlfriend (Maddi). We are mainly staying at hostels/air bnb’s, but occasionally want to stay with a host for a more local/special experience!

SO, a little about ourselves....

BETHANY:

I’m a bubbly, energetic, nature-loving girl, who’s pretty easy going and open to anything that comes my way.
I’m a barista (coffee maker) ☕️ back home. I like a good laugh 🤭 and a bit of 🍷 (but not as much as Maddi 🙊). I love to swim and hike in different parts of the world 🌎 always up for a cheeky picnic, but mainly love to eat delicious food 🤤 (please send restaurant suggestions my way!!) in my down time you will most probably find me with my head in a book. I also love to learn basic bits of language in different countries.

Bad habits: falling down stairs, no sense of direction, ordering too much food

MADDI:

I’m a friendly, easy going girl who loves a good combination of nature and city life. I LOVE the beach 🏝 or any body of water really, it doesn’t matter if I’ve had the worst day ever - the minute I hit that water I’m restored to a new wellness! I’m always up for a cheeky drink or a late night dance (despite my appalling dance moves) 💃 Back home I worked in retail and freelanced as a photographer, my main passion being portraiture 📷 I also love hiking, eating new foods and watching tv.

Bad habits: Walking into doors, stopping to pet every dog 🐶, taking too many photos of moss
