Overview
About Me
2019
3 years on since I last used couch surfing, I (Cora) am now 26 and based out in Indonesia with my boyfriend, Nick (35). We are both keen travellers. Nick has been living in Indonesia on and off for around 6 years, and loves it here. I joined him in Indonesia last year and have also fallen in love with this magical place.
We both enjoy nature, surfing, swimming, diving, exploring new places, and meeting new people.
I work as a freelance copywriter, but my real passion is literature and film.
Nick is a professional photographer, painter, as well as a dive and surf instructor.
We've both also become pretty obsessed with meditation in the last few years and last year attended a 10 day silent retreat in Thailand. We've since continued a daily (more or less ;) practice and believe it's really important.
We're a super open-minded couple who love to make connections wherever we go - because that's what life is all about!

2016
Me and my friend since childhood, Cora, are beginning a trip of a lifetime, starting in Vancouver, ending in Nicaragua, visiting the west coast of the USA and Costa Rica in between. We have been saving for over a year for this journey and could not be more excited.
We grew up in the quiet, pretty boring but undeniably pretty Winchester in the south of England but we are quite well travelled. We both studied French at university and spent a year living in France - as language students, we are all about crossing cultural boundaries!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Although we've never couch-surfed before, we have only heard positive things and think it is the best way to truly experience a place.
We also would love to make new friends around the world - we have no idea what we are doing with our lives so it can only be a bonus to learn about other peoples'!
Interests
The outdoors - hiking, swimming, cycling, camping, climbing, snorkelling, surfing, sailing. Everything outdoors is better.
We're interested in art, cinema, books - we both studied literature at university so we're pretty keen readers.
Generally, we are interested people. We want to learn and to explore, we're open-minded and curious.
Music, Movies, and Books
All music is good at the right time and place - we're not fussy!
Long-time Lord of the Rings fans.
Books about travelling, travelbooks, magic realism.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
We've done a lot of great things separately but together, one thing that stands out is an illegal vineyard tour in the south of France, led by a crazy French pensioner with no respect for traffic rules, across the grape fields on bikes, under fences, across the grounds of private chateaux, swimming in private swimming pools and drinking lots of wine.
Teach, Learn, Share
We're young so we haven't got a lot to teach but we both speak other languages and we have some pretty sweet dance moves. Charlotte's a good cook, Cora's a good eater.
