CURRENT MISSION

Demonstrate to our mums that the food out there is not that bad! :)

ABOUT ME

We are a friendly, open and curious couple. Still feeling young and tolerant enough to be open to new experiences and meet new people.

We have a year out of work to explore South America and would like to do so in a way that puts us in contact with the local people and way of life - what better way to do so than couch surfing!

PHILOSOPHY

Give hugs, receive hugs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have kind of hosted other couch surfers in our shared house through our flatmate. If we had our own house we'd be glad to host. Hoping to couch surf in South America during our travels

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have not stayed with any couch surfer's as yet but where we live in Norwich our flatmate hosted a couple from Switzerland, an Italian guy and an chap from India. Great people and fantastic way for them to see Norwich our home town. We got involved and enjoyed!

Interests

We love sports ranging from Frisbee, windsurfing, walking, canyoning, table tennis.

We love eating and socialising and exploring new things.

Esme plays violin but has had to leave it in the UK in case it gets broken.

Joan loves the Beatles.
