I and my partner have quit our jobs to travel the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I want to do this fits into the bigger picture of why I am travelling. The monotony of day to day life of a nine to five puts you into a habitual state, whereby you are living subconsciously, on a continuous flow of repeated habits and routine. Travelling I find breaks those habits, by putting you in new and sometimes uncomfortable situations that you need to consciously work around. And couch surfing sounds like a great way to supplement that.

Interests

I'm a scientist and engineer by trade, but quit work to travel the world with my bae.

My Instagram is full of food that I've cooked or eaten.

Love learning about new cultures and think this will be a great way to get a true insight whilst travelling.

Also love a jam (not the condiemt) over a few beers. But I do love a bit of jam on toast at times.
