ABOUT ME

Juliet is a researcher and watcher of people. She loves music, cities, wild places, swimming in lakes, bicycles, books, coffee and procrastination.

Louise is a green activist, keen traveller and discoverer of new and wondeful things. She loves trees, bagels, movies, festivals and sunshine. And sock-monkeys.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
