CURRENT MISSION

Transforming oxygen into carbon dioxide and water vapour

ABOUT ME

There's two of us. Once we were stuck so long by the side of the road we went mad and invented a game where we try to bite each others' faces. We get easily distracted by interesting conversation, and enjoy loud and messy cooking followed by loud and messy eating.

Hola, hablamos un poquito espanol- si tu solo hablas espanol, bienvenidos! Lo siento por el calidad de espanol en este profilo- tenemos mas experiencia para hablar que escribir y es dificil sin todos los acentos graficos. Hagas traducion en google del profilo si quieres- o las puntas mas importante son en espanol tambien.

PHILOSOPHY

When traveling, we said 'You always get picked up in the end.' That's not really a metaphor, it just means if you stand by the side of the road long enough you get picked up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have fed a tame raccoon bananas. It caused him to act like he was choking for quite some time, but apparently he enjoyed it.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you how to skip food (that's dumpster dive for Americans), juggle, things about horses from Jenni, odd facts about history you never knew you needed to know from Calum.

We'd love to learn more spanish. Nos gustaria mucho improver nuestro espanol. Also Jenni has just started learning Arabic and French would love any help and advice with either of those!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, conversation if you want it, music and books, and a cat
