CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and when thats over start again

ABOUT ME

Myself, Alex (28) and my girlfriend Jess (27)- We have been together 8 years - are two travellers from Australia making our way around the world. Very happy, peaceful, positive people. We are looking for new experiences and looking to meet new people. We left home in November 2011, started our trip in Hawaii and then from there to Canada, British Columbia working on a ski hill for 6 months at the end of that we travelled BC for 3 months in our dodge camper. We then flew to South America to meet my sister and bused about all over the place for 3 and a half months then back to Canada for 6 months work in Calgary, Alberta. From Calgary we did a road trip around the United States. We started in Seattle, came down the west coast through the south and up the east coast. We travelled through the eastern provionces of Canada and ended up in Nova Scotia working on a sail boat for 3 months. We then travelled to Mexico, Guatemala and back to Hawaii for a short stay just because we loved it so much. We then stopped in back home for a minute to refuel cash and spend time with loved ones. Now we are travelling the UK, Europe and Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop moving, never give up and never make excuses because when you stop doing, whats left?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have surfed a fair bit through our travels so far and know this will be apart our lives for a long time to come. We have met so many amazing people already and am sure there will be many more to come.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spending a night in San Francisco in a two bedroom apartment with 8 couch surfers in the living room. Massive slumber party. Staying in the Florida Keys and being invited to stay an extra night and have Sunday night family dinner with great food, wine, music and company.

The Rocky Mountains, Canada. Yellowstone National Park, USA. Machu Picchu, Peru. Swum with seals in Oregon, saved a turtle on the high way in Florida. Caught and released a hammer head shark also in Florida. Smoked the hubbly bubbly on top of a hostel in Morocco with 2 locals while star gazing. Saw a million butterflies in the forest in Virginia. Was given free player seat tickets to a red sox game in Boston by a complete stranger.

Teach, Learn, Share

Besides popular beliefs you can not stay at all Wal-Mart's and the Aztec ruins in New Mexico are not actually Aztec ruins.
