I am travelling around the world with my boyfriend Calum, and we are so excited!

Hollie- I studied Public a Health and International Development for my Masters degree but I have put that dream on the back burner for now and decided to leave my life in the UK to travel.

I am really into current world affairs, global health issues, hiking, music, festivals, beer wine and gin, climbing, and camping.

There isn’t much I won’t give a go, and I try to do everything with a massive smile.

PS- I had a pet tortoise in the UK and he was such a cool dream boat.

I promise I’m not a serial killer. Im actually a really nice person.

Calum here -
Hollie is definitely the better half in the relationship! I’m into a lot of similar things as her. I love film and I love music and for a long time I’ve been far too obsessed with both - so I’m always up for sharing and finding out about anyone’s favourite films or favourite bands/artists.

I’ve been all over the world for work and for leisure and I’m always up for sharing stories about countries I have visited and some weird and wonderful experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My boyfriend and I have quit our jobs and left our life in the UK to travel long term.

Our rough plan is to do 8-10 months in Asia, spend time working and living in NZ/Aus (unsure!), and then travel for another 8-10 months in central and South America.

We would love to meet like minded people whilst on our journey.
