CURRENT MISSION

We really want to show people everything that is good about Glasgow. We believe it is a fantastic city if you know the right places.

ABOUT ME

Paul (30) and Maureen (28) both grew up in Glasgow. In 2008 we left for our epic round the world trip which took in South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, North America and Central America. In 2010 we moved to South Korea for two years. Now we are back home in Glasgow and working full time, we continue to fuel our adventurous spirit by visiting interesting places whenever we can (we recently returned from a three week trip to India, hence the photo above). We met so many great people while travelling and would like to meet a few more by hosting couchsurfers in Glasgow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maureen: During our travels we have seen so many amazing things it is very difficult to choose one. I'll go for something we saw recently; the border closing ceremony between India and Pakistan. It was so over the top, with cheering crowds on either side. A memorable sight.

Paul: Watching Korea beat Greece in 2010 World Cup at Seoul City Hall with thousands of others. The atmosphere was incredible.
