Myself and Ed, are passionate about travelling. In July we went on a 7 month trip around Europe, Vietnam, Cambodia, New Zealand, Australia, Bali and Thailand. We then went back to England for 3 months and decided we needed to escape again.
While we absolutely love seeing different countries we also love meeting the people from them. The people we met on our last trip helped us form our current trip as we've planned to meet up with as many as possible this time around.
We believe that from staying in hostels, where you only meet other clueless travellers, it's difficult to truly experience a country. That is therefore our main reason for creating a profile on couch surfing as who better to meet and speak with than local residents themselves?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately we only found out about Couchsurfing at the end of our last trip so we didn't use it last time. However, as we are travelling around English speaking countries this time, and as every destination has so much to offer, we decided that couchsurfing would provide a richer experience. We are hoping to make new friends from around the world, see an abundance of new places and experience real America!

Interests

I studied English at University and Ed studied history. We are both therefore similarly interested in reading, writing, history and culture and both work in marketing.
Other interests include sports (playing and spectating), photography, yoga, hiking, camping, skiing and travelling.

(Cor when you start it's hard to stop!)

Dexter, prison break, house of cards, game of thrones, gossip girl, 90210, suits, revenge, scandal, Friday night lights and bones.
