Me and my partner, Pete are looking for hosts across Norway, Iceland and America. We are from the South West of England, we live close to the coast and the gorgeous national park Dartmoor. One day we would like to reciprocate the kindness that hosts have offered us by hosting them too. We are passionate about the fact that everyone must visit Dartmoor at least once in their life. It is often a place overlooked and we want that to change. We are really excited about travelling the countries mentioned above and can’t wait to meet people. We want to explore these countries as much as we can, but not just the tourist spots, we want to see these places through the eyes of those who know it as there home. I love nature, and autumn is my favourite season. Peter is an outdoors enthusiast, he loves hiking. He plays the bass but dabbles in many other instruments. He’s been reading a lot of Norse folklore recently. We both love live music, especially folk, blues and country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to truly immerse ourselves in the culture of each place we visit.
