ABOUT ME

We are a friendly, optimistic and laid back couple (married nearly 7 years).
Active people who love to hike, camp, run, cycle, swim, cook, eat and drink with friends.
2 years ago, we quit our jobs and went travelling around the world before working a ski season in a chalet in France and now having a summer of fun before going back to work and to Nottingham to host more couchsurfers.
