About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel around Europe in just 1 month

ABOUT ME

All three of us were born and bred (mostly) in London. But our backgrounds couldn't be more different. Our heritage spans the globe from South America, to Africa to Asia and Europe - you figure out who's from where!
Ant and I have been on the road for 11 months traveling pretty much everywhere. We convinced Chris to join us for what turned out to be a pretty mad 6 weeks in Asia and he didn't think twice about rejoining us in Europe. You could say that we've really caught the travel bug!
We're all pretty laid back guys, positive, happy and always laughing (a lot of the time at ourselves)

If you want to see a bit more about where we've been, take a look at my facebook pics.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for moment - tomorrow you could get knocked down by a bus...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We're newbies to Couch surfing but we've heard loads of amazing stories from people who've done it. We thought it would be a great way to experience travelling other than through the standard stay-in-a-hostel-and-meet-loads-of-other-English-People way.
Who better than a local to show you their way of life.

Interests

Surprise, surprise - travelling. Being able to see all the places that you've always wanted to see, and some that you never even knew existed! Meeting people from all over the world, with different backgrounds, stories and experiences... and bumping into people who live just down the road from your mum, back home!
We love our food, especially trying out the local dishes - the more weird, the better!
We love the Beautiful Game (but don't worry, we're not football hooligans), but also like tennis, cricket (very English), rugby, F1 and MotoGP.
We love dancing - don't try and test our moves, we've got them locked down.
Other than that, what traveller doesn't like socialising? It's one of the highlights of travelling - cold glass of beer is optional but preferred.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to mention but from our travels:
Iguazu Falls, Uyuni Salt Flats, Fiji, India (all of it), Angkor Wat, Ugandan Mountain Gorillas, Great Barrier Reef...

hopefully we have many more to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

Before we decided to embark upon our travelling adventures, Ant used to work in Search Engine Marketing and Neil used to work as an Account Manager (not an Accountant!)
Chris works as a Health Care Administrator.
