About Me

I am travelling the world with my new wife Abi (we got married in July - this is our honeymoon trip!)
We want to see the world and experience the true culture of places we see and meet lots of new interesting people!

I'm relaxed, open-minded, friendly and get on well with everybody, I like to have a good time. I love adventure, and challenges, and enjoy helping out more than sitting around.

Abi is a Speech & Language Therapist who was previously working in a hospital. She is also a qualified Yoga Teacher :-)
She also has a profile, but we mostly use my account.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-To meet new people
-To see real people in their home country
-To experience the true culture, rather than that of an expensive hotel!

I believe that the best way to travel is to meet the people who live in a place in order to get a real understanding of how the countries function. I also love to learn new and interesting facts...

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
-Not currently hosting as I'm travelling, but will do once i'm home and able! So at the moment We're just looking for lovely people to meet, learn from & stay with! (There is 2 of us!!)

Interests

Sports - Watching football / Rugby
Running, Cycling, Walking - I like to participate in events (Marathons / Triathlons etc). I love trekking....climbing hills & mountains..

Eating / trying lots of different foods

Cooking & experimenting with food...usually using every available utensil I can..
