About Me

We're about to resign from our jobs to travel through the Americas. We fly into LA in early March, hope to visit San Francisco and then fly to Mexico to travel on southwards through Central America.

We've both traveled in Europe and Asia in the past and are excited to be doing this together.

I tend to be excitable and outgoing, and Aaron's more considered nature and dry humour balances this well - like a good, affordable wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We'd love to meet some locals, expats and other travellers on our way through the Americas.

Interests

Adventuring through the world and meeting the people that live there.
Food - any food, but particularly cheese and things that were once alive. And wine, yes wine!
We like to be outside, and to spend time with kind people.
Aaron has a background in Graphic Design, is into art and loves movies.
I love people and trying to understand what makes us feel good.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Beatles, Queen, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Alt-J and lots more.

Fight Club, The Shining, There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, Pulp Fiction, though it's more about the directors: the Cohen brothers, Tarantino, Paul Thomas-Anderson, Kubrick, Scorsese, Fincher, Nolan.

I've been reading a lot of Alain de Botton and bits of positive psychology.
Aaron's been reading Jack Kerouac, Hunter S Thompson and Chris Ryan's research.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've night swum in phosphorescent water in Tasmania's far south - it was magic, like swimming in liquid light.

Teach, Learn, Share

We're ready to share our perspectives on the world and interested in others ideas. We also like to cook and contribute to a household when we can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can be very flexible - ready to help hosts with whatever needs doing, participate in what's going on, or entertain ourselves. We're interested in meeting people, sharing conversations and food.
