ABOUT ME

My husband and I just got married in May. He was a graphic designer in England and I managed a grocery store in North Carolina. We had met in Australia 3 years ago on a hiking trip and decided that we wanted to do a 3 month long cycling trip along the east coast of Australia to raise money to the benefit of local food banks for our honeymoon. We are moving to New Zealand in November.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used it before and I love meeting locals along the way. It is a great way to keep costs down and make international friends. Plus we love sharing recipes with new friends :)

Interests

In my free time, I'm usually planning a trip, cooking, exercising, or trying new foods. I really love food and studying other languages. I speak Spanish fluently and am conversational with French and Portuguese.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled 2000 mi across Europe in 2014.

Teach, Learn, Share

Jamie and I love learning any type of new skill. We are currently in Alaska babysitting our niece and nephew and learning a lot about outdoor adventure, taking care of kids, camping, and wood splitting. We would be interested in learning anything really. We love to share recipes, wine, language, and card games.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Spanish (I used to be a language teacher for primary school), Portuguese (used to study in Brazil), tips on bike maintenance, recipes, card games.
