ABOUT ME
My Husband Michael and I have taken 2 years off to travel. We have just come from the Mentawai Islands (West Sumatra, Indonesia) where we helped out on a surf Resort. Michael was the surf guide and we both were the photographers :)
We have been in Europe Since Christmas and plan to be here through till the end of April. Most of our time will be spent in France and Italy. We look forward to meeting lots of CS along the way :)
We both love taking opportunities that arise and making the most of any situation! We think couch surfing will be a wonderful adventure!
So hopefully we get to meet you on our travels! :)
PHILOSOPHY
Live life to the full, be positive and love people! Life is to short to waste! :) :) :)
