About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world when we have the money to, and to start hosting like minded people while we are at home saving for the next trip!

ABOUT ME

We're both very easy going and enjoy having a laugh. We're open minded and curious about the world and everyone in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people,and we love to do the tourist things but also to experience a place through local eyes!

Interests

We really enjoy seeing new places and meeting new people. At home we watch movies, read lots of books, draw and paint, and play playstation. We like to have friends over but equally enjoy our own time relaxing and saving up for new trips away!
