Hi guys!

We are a couple from Northern England (Manchester and Wakefield) and we have just moved to Vancouver. We both love travelling and we are trying to see as much of the world as we possibly can.

Last summer we spent 6 brilliant months travelling and volunteering around Europe. We surfed, went to meet ups and hung out with people through the app. The trip was great but amazing people we met through CS made the trip truly special.

In our spare time we enjoy weekends away, spending time with family and friends, reading, live music 🎶 and trying out new food and drink 🍲

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people on our travels who we wouldn't normally get the chance to meet.

We've had nothing but amazing experiences through CS and we are in awe of people's kindness and hospitality.

We like to meet people who we can laugh and chat with. Cooking a meal and having some drinks are the best way to do this.

Hopefully we can make long lasting friendships with the people we meet 🌍

Teach, Learn, Share

We both live for food so learning some new local recipes would be amazing 🍲 🧀

We also love teaching people about the UK and learning about other countries and cultures.

We can recommend places to visit in Manchester and Liverpool so that people can enjoy seeing them as much as we do. We can also give people tips on food and drink deals and how to travel around the UK on a budget!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can help you practice your English!

A good laugh and conversation along with some cooking and drink 🍷
