CURRENT MISSION

We are ordinary people seeking to carve out extraordinary lives in mundane London. We want to offer a space for community, merrymaking and relaxation. Welcome!

ABOUT ME

We were a collective, now we're a more conventional family. We've got these little surfers who seem to have taken up permanent residence.

But we still have a desire to open our door, to offer hospitality, to meet new and past people, to share space with those who pass through. We're not professionals but it touches something in us and that's why we do it.

PHILOSOPHY

'Welcome to the irresistible revolution, a new and ancient way of life that is so attractive, who would settle for anything else? The revolution begins inside each of us, and through little acts of love, it will take over the world.' (Shane Claiborne, The Irresistible Revolution)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host, we pop along to the events we can make, we have the occasional meal here, and we benefit from the generosity of strangers on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From a ready apple pie on the table in Paris from Mme Dussable to Christmas in a New York Thai restaurant with a wonderful opera singer to ice-hockey and Wawa's in D-town.

Drawbridge down. :-)
