CURRENT MISSION

To meet as many amazing inspiring warm and friendly people on this planet as humanly possible

ABOUT ME

We are a couple who are keen to invite you to our London home. We prefer to travel to different places without sleeping in often generic and mediocre hotel rooms. We would rather sleep on someone's couch in a room they painted and on cushions they bought and invite you to do the same.
We are both pretty happy people who enjoy good food, good conversation, nature and the wonderful things London offers, such as small gigs, art exhibitions, theatre, and job opportunities.
Melissa works with teenagers in South East London, working with charities and the local government to help improve the lives of local youth.
Tad works for a business consultancy firm who go in to organisations and help them restructure, strengthen, and organise themselves more efficiently.
We love reading in our spare time, walking Melissa's mum's dogs (we are a pet-free house), listening to music and making picnics in the sunshine.

PHILOSOPHY

To live as good as life as possible.
