About Mel and Gabriel.

Two best buds from New Zealand travelling the British Isles.

Gabriel is based in London, and Mel is mid way through travelling around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are hoping to stay with locals to learn more about the local way of doing things and make more meaningful connections. We are both very social and spontaneous.
