ABOUT ME

We like meeting new people. We live in Cornwall because where we live is more important than what jobs we do. Here we can walk to the beach or up on to the moors from our front door, or go rock climbing if the rain stops for long enough. We don't party riotously but we like to laugh and talk. David makes fantastic curries. Jo makes good pots. Beware couch surfers you may have pots foisted on you to relieve the sagging shelves.

PHILOSOPHY

Jo says: People matter most. Keep learning. The reason for our existence is beyond my understanding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have hosted for nearly a year now and it has all been positive. We feel very lucky to have met such excellent people. We get a bit overwhelmed by requests because we are lucky enough to live in such a fantastic place so we had a bit of a break before Christmas - sorry we couldn't host the people who asked to come on Christmas day! Hope to do more surfing ourselves this year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

If you want to stay with us please give us plenty of warning because we get lots of requests. Also we do not look at the Couchsurf requests every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dangling from the Caval Bernat at Montserrat in Spain. The births of our sons. White surf following the yacht in a storm between Bermuda and Nova Scotia. A brocken spectre on Crib Goch. Listening to Beethoven in Glencoe. Looking out towards Colonsay at sunset from the Paps of Jura. Sailing out of Brodick as the sun was setting.
