About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the full and celebrate with the people I meet!

ABOUT ME

Elise and I have been together since April 2007. We met in January 2006 in a pub in London when I (Nick) was very drunk and overheard some French girls talking, I of course went over and impressed them with my French. Elise and I swapped numbers and just like that, 1 year and 3 months later, we got together.
I know what you're thinking, I'm a pretty fast mover huh?
UPDATE: 3 years later on 25/04/10 I proposed to her in that same pub and she said yes!!
UPDATE: 4/6/11 we were married in Quiberon, Britanny (her home town). Yay!
UPDATE: 13/07/16 We are parents now! Our daughter Charlotte was born on 15/09/14 and is the most amazing little girl in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Love life and be great with people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are big believers in karma and paying it forward - ie. if I stay on your couch then someone else can stay on mine and so on!

Now that we have a little child it is harder for us to host so we are not accepting guests for the foreseeable future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had many Couchsurfers come to stay with us from all walks of life and from all over the world. We have made good friends with many and had a great time with all of them.
We have couchsurfed as a couple during our honeymoon and it was a fabulous experience.
See you soon!
