Bethany Ward and Lewis Clarke: a 19 year old couple on a break before university. Travelling Central and South America, hence why neither of us can host yet but we are excited to do so in the future.
Both love to just enjoy nature and visit interesting places and their museums.
Beth: I have been in scouting since the age of 6 and now love being a Beaver Scout Leader and also tutoring Maths and English at Explore Learning. I enjoy First Aid volunteering with the British Red Cross in my spare time.
Lewis: I work at a sports centre as a lifeguard, swim teacher and children's activities coordinator. I enjoy History and Classics as well as reading and gaming. Enjoy a good political debate if you are up for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is expensive and couch surfing will make this once in a lifetime experience possible for us.
As a bonus it seems like a fab way to get some local knowledge and meet people. Lewis will confirm, I love to chat!
