About Me

I am currently travelling with my partner, Mossy, from the UK. We are a young and active couple at the beginning of our life changing adventure. We both enjoy the simple things in life like music, films, walks, cooking, good food and even better conversation. We both work in a music venue/pub called The Magic Garden in South London where we found ourselves constantly surrounded by great musicians and travellers from across the globe.

Mossy is very much into his music. He plays the saxophone and guitar and is very knowledgeable on the subject. He likes stand up comedy with Louis CK and Dylan Moran being just two of his favourites. He's very easy going and always up for late night chats but also very content with chilling and reading his book.

I am a keen cook and love being in the kitchen. In the past 6 years, I have run a cake making/decorating business and then ran a cafe. In my time off I love dancing and going to gigs but also meditative hobbies like crocheting and sometimes making dream catchers. I like swapping stories and always look forward to engaging with new people.

We are both very social people and love to get involved but also very respectable of other peoples privacy and homes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Many of our friends have told us about CouchSurfing and how it is a brilliant way to meet likeminded people who know the local areas and are welcoming to others eager to gain new experiences. A major part of travelling is meeting new people and CouchSurfing simply makes that part much easier. We are planning on visiting many places across the globe and in order to have the best experiences, we need the help of some of the amazing people here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mossy- I played at Glastonbury Music Festival this Summer with my band, Mama Jerk and the Lady Fingers, to a crowed of 1000 people.

Ness- I drove from Toronto to Vancouver (over 4300km) with my brother this year. It was the longest but the most beautiful drive of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

We'd love to cook you some delicious food and get crafty and creative. Everyday is a school day so we'd love to learn anything you'd have to offer. Mossy will be more than happy to give a cheeky little guitar lesson too.

Fun times and great conversations. Sharing experiences and stories are simple but yet fantastic things shared between people.
