I am a very young at heart 55 year old, I have just married my partner after 12 years together. We have bought up a large family and now want to take time out to follow our dreams. I am a special needs teacher and Al is a builder, we are hoping to travel for about a year to experience new cultures, sun, fun and to meet new people from all walks of life, we are both easy going and have great respect for others cultures and beliefs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband and I love to explore new cultures and places we want to meet local people and do as much traveling as we can. Staying with local people for some of our trip, would let us stretch our budget and enable us to get a more real experience.
We like to get off the tourist trail and meet 'real people' and really get to know the culture, food and customs of new places.
