About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do and see EVERYTHING

ABOUT ME (and Jess - Girlfriend)

both 23 year old from Manchester, England.
Matt is a graduate in Biological Science and Jess is a graduate in International Relations and Global Development

We both have a passion for travel, FOOD, cultures and want to see as much of the world as possible, whilst meeting as many new people as we can. We both do lots of volunteering (Jess more than matt) and both into fitness (Matt more than jess).

So far Matt has travelled Europe, the East Coast of USA, and most of South America for 6 months. Jess has travelled Ghana, Africa and joined Matt for parts of South America in 2014.

We are about to embark on our worldwide backpacking trip starting in the USA, heading down through Central Americas and parts of the Caribbean then through South America to Brazil. Then over to Aus and Asia to see where the wind takes us.

We love the idea of couchsurfing as its a perfect way to meet the most interesting and genuine people of the most fantastic places

We look forward to meeting you all
