Hello,

My name is Ed. I'm 31 and currently cycling the length of India from Kerala to Kathmandu in Nepal with my partner Kat (30). We started on Gandhi's birthday (2nd of October 2016) and hope to reach Nepal by the New Year (2017).

We're from the UK and live in Cornwall where we previously worked before heading off on travels. We're very easy going and keen to meet people along the way, share stories, food and chai!

We are vegetarian but love all types of food including spice!

We only have a few bags and our bicycles but many stories to share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're new to crouch surfing but have met people on our journey so far who couldn't recommend it more. As we're cycling, we're keen to try new experiences and meet people who know and understand the areas we travel through. We want to open our eyes to other people's way of life and see people in their own homes and environment. If you think you could help we'd love to meet you too!
