About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To set up a Hostel Boat on England's Canals
ABOUT ME
We are a couple who love travelling and have seen many parts of the world (in fact we met in Australia).
We spent a year managing a backpacker hostel in New Zealand (The Albatross in Kaikoura) and we loved it so much we decided to do something similar in the UK so we're in the process of setting up overnight trips on the canals for backpackers - a floating hostel!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We have stayed with many great people in some really interesting parts of the world. We have loved hosting people and showing them a local side to Manchester.
We're now excited to offer people the opportunity to see something very unique of the English Countryside - the canals!
