ABOUT ME

Him a neuroscientist with an interest in brain computer interfaces and genetic engineering.

Her a software developer at a small games company with a passion for theater, musicals, and fudge.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't ever get your speedometer confused with your clock, like I did once, because the faster you go the later you think you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are house-sitting for a year. Until the end of Summer 2014. If there are community events going on around, we may participate in them. It's definitely less busy out here than in Victoria, where I'm from.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- Were hosted by a wonderful couple in Glasgow for a number of days.
- Met some awesome couch surfers at a new years party at a friend-and-fellow-couch-surfing-member's place.
- Hosted three different individuals at our old shared apartment
