Apologies for the slow to no replies of requests recently. We just moved to Santiago and Chile and it's been pretty crazy getting ready. Invitations will be open again when we get settled.

About us: 30-something couple with a little boy and dog living a free life of travel and exploration. We're pretty balanced people. We don't smoke (in fact we strongly dislike it) but we enjoy a drink and new experiences. We're not religious, and we don't have strong ideologies other than being true to yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We enjoy meeting interesting people, and we try to include you in the family. For that reason, we do want to spend a little time to get to know a little bit about you before we commit to hosting you, as we do want to check we all get along.

I'm afraid we don't host cigarette smokers (personal choice, sorry!), and we try to avoid people that generally just want a free bed, rather than a shared experience.

If you're interested in staying with us, send us a message. Let us know something about you, and your travel plans, and mention that you have read our profile properly. It's better if we match our expectations before we commit to staying with each other!

I'm sorry to say that if your request looks like you haven't read our profile properly, you will receive an instant 'no'.

Interests

We're into doing and making many things, and chilling and enjoying being around interesting people. We play weird board games, enjoy quality food, wine and beer, ride motorcycles, travel and explore the world. We especially enjoy new experiences. There's basically nothing we wouldn't try in the right circumstances.

Myself, personally, I enjoy deep conversation on anything from business, art, gastronomy and philosophy, to evolutionary psychology. Pretty happy to talk about absolutely nothing significant too!

We all speak Spanish, Chinese and English, and we have some Dutch and little French and some Shanghainese kicking around between us if that's helpful to you. We're all learning Spanish too!

Music, Movies, and Books

Into sarcasm, rock and indie music, and the big black hole where most things nonsensical go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been traveling now for 13 years. I've lived in France, Greece, Romania, China, Netherlands and now Chile. Most amazing? Depends on perspective... I cycled from England to Romania once, that would be on the list.
My partner joined me on my travels and now we live in the Netherlands together, with her son.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been a pro cook and pro photographer. I'm also crazy about bikes and coffee! I roast coffee and happy to geek talk. Always got something to share with someone!
