About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Packed in our jobs and packed our bags to travel and work in Africa and South America

ABOUT ME

We've been working in London for the past four years, with a bit of travel in between. London is where we met, and both decided that it was a good time to have a break from work and the hectic London life and see a bit more of the world. We had both travelled before, but were interested in working in Africa and South America to really get to know a place rather than just passing through.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and get out there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Brand new to CS - we love the idea and when we get back to London and have a place we'll definitely be interested in hosting and showing people the big smoke.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our friends have used CS and told us all about it at a Malawian music festival - they raved about it and we wanted to give it a go.

Interests

Alex - trying new recipes, socialising, going to the cinema, swimming, walking my dog, drinking pots of tea ( I am english!), being with my family.
Chris - socialising, travelling, films and books, sport, drinking Alex's tea and eating her food.
