Hey! It’s Mo and Alex here 👋

We're easy going, outgoing, love sharing stories, cultures, always up for a challenge, laugh or beer. Be prepared for terrible dad dancing and even worse dad jokes.

We’ve both been working in the non-profit/humanitarian sector for a while. Recently moved back from Ukraine.

When we're not at home playing board games or Lego you'll find us out walking, cycling or just generally adventuring.

Please don’t request dates more than a few weeks in advance. Sorry we’re just not that organised!

We normally host 1-3 nights at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to accept wayward travellers, walkers, cyclists, unicyclists, tourists, people meeting up with long lost family or anyone looking to sample the delights of London.

If we can't host you, I can't individually respond but please don't take it personally! We just get a lot of requests.

Interests

Anything new, weird or wonderful.

I play the ukulele, a bit of bass and (the obvious tell tale sign of a cool school kid) the clarinet in my younger days. Alex loves languages and plays piano.

We're just a little bit in love with cycling.
