About Me

We are a well mannered couple, currently traveling around Europe, love simplicity, neat and tidy, love cooking and eating, walking in nature, meeting new people and experiences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love traveling, meeting people, sharing our culture and exchanging travel stories with new found friends. What better way to do so than couchsurfing! Besides, we prefer staying in warm hearted homes rather than hotels.

Interests

Teach, Learn, Share

We are teachers, so we can teach you anything we know that you want to learn.

We are keen to learn and discover any interesting and useful skills that we do not yet know, such as your language, cuisine, history, culture, and stories.

We can share our work exchange experiences, travel stories, recipes and anything that you are curious about.
