Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love sailing and want to do it for as long as we can. Ideally sailing round the world over and over, raising our little boy and experiencing wonderful places and people.

We would love people to join us on our journey and share in our adventure and also our expenses.

Whilst on board we will give you a safe passage, an alternate mode of transport towards your next destination, good food and drink, sometimes a fresh fish and the chance to see places that you normally cannot get to by any other means.

Running a sailing yacht is a lot of work and we ask for a contribution towards the running cost of your boat at a few hours of work per day. This can be cleaning or just cooking or scrubbing decks!
We don't go to marinas very often, we favor the remote beaches, reefs and islands, normally not frequented by the crowds.

Your couch is more of an adventure than a just a bed.
