ABOUT ME

Hi we are two friendly, travel-happy people about to embark on a journey from the UK to Mike's home town in Australia... without catching a flight. Looking forward to meeting new friends and interesting people .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are really keen on meeting up with people living locally when we are on our travels so that we can get some inside info on the best to experience their home town.Also love to meet people for a drink and share our knowledge when CS people visit us in Cambridge or Leeds

Music, Movies, and Books

All sorts of music from indie, rock, electronic, blues, .....We also like a huge range of movies but mainly thrillers, horror, foriegn language films (Spanish, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese), Martial Arts, Westerns, Sci-Fi.Books - we've both been caught up in the Steig Larsson trilogy and also read travel based novels. We especially like books based in places we have travelled to. Mike may occasionally read a graphic novel too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mike grew up in Western Australia and is passionate about his home town of Perth (and loves talking about it!). Sophie is from West Sussex in the UK. We both lived in London for many years and now split our time between Cambridge and Leeds. If any one has any questions about anywhere we have been we'd be glad to help.We'd like to learn as much as we can about northern Poland (especially Gdansk, Osztyn and Mragowo), Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Mongolia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Loas, Myanmar and Thailand....
