HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lovely!

Interests

As Self Employed Designers our days are unpredictable but we love meeting new people it gives us an excuse to take a forced break. Sometimes we can't exactly spend all day chatting but we hope to share at least a dinner and a bit of a drive around the area with you. If you don’t like pets this might be a stretch for you. We have 7 dogs and 2 cats. The cats stay in a cat room and come out occasionally. Michael is allergic but it doesn’t stop him from get up close and personal with the fur kids. We are pretty chilled and enjoy coffee, coffee shops, a good conversation, being home and avoiding as much stress as possible. We enjoy television shows and movies given that we find very little time to escape when we have deadlines. Our vegetarian lifestyle is easy to follow with local ethical food diary and egg suppliers. We also have barter markets which allows for food exchange with local small scale fruit and veg gardeners. We also follow a ketogenic (High FAT / Low CARB) diet but will happily take you to the local supermarket to get your ideal supplies.
We don’t have kids yet. We don’t really like hectic debates but we don’t mind healthy conversations.

Music, Movies, and Books

We always say "if you like the same movies/shows as we do, we will get on like a house on fire haha. We have various likes and dislikes.

Amanda enjoys historical novels, autobiography and the occasional fantasy. Michael would rather read a few tech blogs or do research on a certain topic.

We both enjoy similar music. It ranges between current hits and indie folk music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- We both lived and worked in America.

- We work for our selves and we can be creative in other areas of our life.
