My girlfriend and I are two Geordies (people from Newcastle, England) looking for adventure. We're both fairly shy, bookish types that are pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone. We're polite, tidy and happy to help out any way we can. We are older than the typical gap-year travelling age so guarantee maturity. We follow plant-based diets but aren't preachy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are taking a year out from our careers and want to experience new things.
