About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We are a couple from the United Kingdom (Dorset and Wales), who currently live in the beautiful Cornish town of Fowey.

ABOUT ME

We are two like minded travellers exploring little corners of the world. We are easy going, sociable and helpful couch surfers that would love to meet people from all over the world! On our travels we like to learn about the local cultures of the places we visit and we really enjoy meeting up with local people and fellow travellers.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you'd like to be treated!
