Hi! We are Dan and Chel. We are an outgoing and childlike playful partnership! We both live in Lancaster and have a positive outlook on life. We are keen to explore the world while removing our societal need for money, or as little as possible. We have both lived in vans and are minimalists on the main.

We both are keen to learn from other people and share our experiences, stories and wisdom with people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Dan:

We are on Couchsurfing to find lovely people to host as well as travel and meet people. I feel like that's what everyone would put but it's such a valid and simple reason! I want to learn new skills and share stories of excitement, madness and close calls.

Chel:

Because my boyfriend accidentally paid for a profile when he was trying to verify and we realised it was worth having for when we travel across the world, and meeting new people.
