About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be easy-going cheerful people who are content with our place in the world.!

ABOUT ME

We are no longer using this profile, but keeping it active as a reference. If you would like to get in touch with one of us, please see our individual profiles... Cheers.

All about us...Well, there are two of us. There is Rafe, he is nice, and there is Jess, she is also nice.
We enjoy music, wine, good food, good people, and many other things that you would probably like as well. We have spent the last year wandering aimlessly around the world and occasionally stopping to earn a bit more money so we can keep wandering. Rafe is a musician. He plays guitar and sings songs about things that he finds funny or interesting. Jess is an artist. She likes glass, and ink and other things.
At the moment we are travelling around Europe. We'd like to sleep on your couch, and Rafe would like to play a concert in your town.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will always turn out fine in the end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is super! We take in as many surfers as we can, as often as we can, and hope that people will do the same for us. Generally our experiences have been really great. Most people are pretty cool. Sometimes it's been a bit strange or awkward, but always interesting, and isn't that what life is all about?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've housed a few strangers and been taken in by a few others, and it has always turned out great!

Interests

music, art, home-grown food, forests, laughing, good interesting and happy people.
