About Me

PLEASE FULLY READ OUR PROFILE OTHERWISE YOU WON'T BE ACCEPTED.

We are living in New Zealand at the moment and we can finally return the favour and host people!!

CURRENT MISSION

We set off travelling in 2013 and finally we have settled in New Zealand for a while.....We are saving for the next part of our journey.

ABOUT ME

We set off travelling in 2013 from our home in England..... It's now 2015 and we are still seeing as much as we can. We were on the road for fourteen months before we arrive here in Dunedin. We live just outside of Dunedin in a tiny wooden house with beautiful sea views. Please don't send us a generic copy and paste request, we will say no. It's better for us to host at weekend as we both work full time during the week.

PHILOSOPHY

To see our amazing world with our own eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a small sofa bed and a camping mat so we can host up to two people at a time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We couchsurfed quite a bit on our travels so now it's our turn to host and meet new people.

We are all for people getting somewhere to stay but we shouldn't be expected to feed and clean up after guests. It's ok for us to share some of our stuff but it's nice for you to share with us too :) We both work 5 -6 days a week working long hours we are happy to host but hosting shouldn't mean cooking and cleaning for guests otherwise we would just open a guest house. When we couched surfed we helped out around the house as much as we could and cooked for our hosts. We feel like couch surfing is about a bit of give and take not just taking. It nice to share meals and cook together is all we are saying. Thank you.
