I'm taking a year out of education before starting my medical studies in September so I'm trying to see and do as much as I can on a limited budget before launching into very full on studies. I speak fluent French and English. My hometown is Sheffield but my mother's French so I spend quite a bit of time visiting my grandparents in France. Whilst in France I've made lots of friends and so me and my friend Edouard decided that this summer we would try to hitchhike to a few European countries and hopefully meet lots of people on the way. We're both 19 (nearly 20) and very friendly people. We don't mind sharing a bed at all and will happily sleep on the floor, we really aren't fussy! I recently got back from a four month backpacking trip around south east Asia and can't wait for the next opportunity to go back out there!

We're quite new to couch surfing so don't have many reviews but feel free to browse our facebooks, my name's Simon Beckwith and my friend is Edouard Douay
