Hello! Our names are Flora and Tom, we’re a couple from Cornwall, England.

We’re visiting Italy for a week or two and are looking for somewhere calm and friendly to stay!

Tom (25) is a primary school teacher and Flora (27) is a student of anthropology.

We will be travelling as a couple 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just used couchsurfing for the first time, travelling across America, and met some amazing, generous people through it. It is a wonderful tool which enables connection between people without the alienation of monetary exchange.

Couchsurfing is brilliant.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Occupied Parliament Square in London for a week as part of an XR protest, that felt amazing. Along with four other active occupation sites we basically pedestrianised Central London - all the traffic signals were still going it was surreal.
