CURRENT MISSION

To offer a taste of the countryside but with easy access to London!

ABOUT ME

We're a family of four - we both work full-time and I speak French, Italian and (a little) German. I'm a Learning Manager for a global FMCG company and my husband runs his own design agency. We both travelled as students in Europe, India, Africa and SE Asia so we're keen to support Couchsurfers. We love meeting people from all over the world as travelling far afield is not really an option for us right now - so the world can come to us instead!!
