CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, meet new people and have fun!

ABOUT US:
We have been travelling for nearly 5 years and have recently changed things up, we are trying cycle tourism in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia...
I (Ruth) love to cook, read and laugh
I(Ben) love playing instruments and listening to music
We love exploring and learning about new places, cultures and getting to know people and their experiences in life.

PHILOSOPHY

We're both open minded people that love to listen and learn from others.
With strong beliefs that everyone should be treated equally, and the same goes for animals and our planet :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can't currently host anyone, but when we stop in places to work and are able we try to help out others with a sofa or the floor and social connection :)

Interests

Ruth: I'm passionate about food, if I'm not cooking I am thinking about it. I love to breathe, read, watch films or documentaries, learning to appreciate new music, meeting new people, eating out, exploring new places on foot or bicycle, most of all have a good giggle.

Ben: Music (spanning a huge variety of genres), film and good quality series, fitness-cycling, kickboxing, yoga, poetry/spoken word-writing, sharing and working towards performing more, both solo and with others, having good quality conversation

Music, Movies, and Books

We have a varied and eclectic taste between the 2 of us, spanning children's films to Hungarian comedy-drama-thrillers ;) Ben's the musical one-playing sax, piano and guitar, and we enjoy a huge variety of music between us, Ben would particularly love to create your own personal playlist based on what he thinks you would enjoy!

Teach, Learn, Share

We love to discuss and learn about cultures, society and community. We are intrigued by ideas and opinions on revolution, vegetarian/veganism, environmental and political issues, but also enjoy a good light hearted conversation and most of all to laugh!
