Hello! We're Anthony and Gemma, a French-British couple from London, but we met in Paris where we both lived for over 8 years. Anthony was born in Lyon, France, while Gemma was born near Beverley, in the north of England.

Both of us have spent extended periods of time living abroad. Since returning from a 16-month trip around Japan, Southeast Asia and New Zealand, we’ve moved to London for new jobs and to explore the south of England. We're always looking for a new adventure and we hope to hear more about yours too!

We like exploring at the weekend - sometimes we go for day trips around the UK and you will often find Anthony surfing (even when it’s raining!). When we're in London, we spend a lot of time walking in the city and testing out the many pubs/places to eat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’ve had the opportunity to stay with local people during our travels (not through Couchsurfing), and we would like to repay the favour to the travel community. Feel free to contact us if you’re in London!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We worked in Japan and New Zealand for around 6 months each, so we have some pretty funny stories about our time there. In general we've done a lot of travelling and we like sharing our experience.
