Stuart (32, British) and I (27, German but grew up in Spain) are a young couple who've left behind the grim weather in Manchester to travel the world and broaden our horizons. We're both open-minded, easygoing and have a good sense of humour - but at the same time are tidy, honest and reliable.

PHILOSOPHY

The greatest tragedy in life is not death. It's what dies within us while we're still alive. Keep dreaming. Keep believing. Keep doing. And start living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're currently on a backpacking trip through India, Australia, Southeast Asia and China and would love to meet locals, expats and fellow travellers to share travel experiences and learn about foreign cultures. We both enjoy meeting interesting new people and exchanging stories! :-)

Interests

Travelling, music, photography, festivals, concerts, movies, cooking & eating good food, comedy, books, gaming, the outdoors, fitness, healthy lifestyle, wildlife & animal welfare. Stuart loves motorbikes and football and is currently studying for a degree in IT/Computing, as well as learning to play the guitar.
