Were a newly wed couple aged 29 and 25. I work for a Telecoms company here in the UK. My wife Beth runs her own pet services business(grooming, dog walking, pet sitting).

We met in 09 when I came to the Uk to visit family. I met and have been together ever since. We'e been married 5 years now and are trying to enjoy life to the fullest when we get a change to step away from work. We have four dogs that we've rescued that are like our children and we spend a lot of time exploring and trekking with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people while traveling the world, experience life, new things, great sights, great food, and great beer. To hang out with locals and get the local experience. It would be a shame to go somewhere and miss out on the best places because you the best things to do!
