ABOUT ME

We are The Beckingtons, a married couple from Australia and Russia.
To save you the trouble of reading a lot of gibberish, if you are looking at this we assume it is because you would like to CS in Sydney. So feel free to send us a request and we'd be happy to host you or show you around Sydney if it is possible.
Although one thing we would say is that we are not party machines so please just keep that in mind if you want to CS with us :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on CS to meet nice people whether it be hosting, surfing or simply hanging out.

Interests

Our two passions are football and photography. Mostly I (Alex) follow the EPL and my heart belongs to the Gunners - that's right... I'm a Gooner (that being an Arsenal fan for all the non-EPL people out there) - and I love it! )))

Having said that - if you are...

A Man Utd fan, ehh...

A Liverpool fan, meh

A Man City fan, mehhh...

A Chelsea fan, mehhhhhhhh...

A Tottenfan fan, (I salute your bravery if you still send us a request) :P

!!BUT!!

If you are an Arsenal fan, then welcome comrade!! )))
