About Me

CURRENT MISSION ..... Chilling on the boat in Noosa (Blondie)
Benni is travelling Vietnam, Thailand etc ...
[so no longer at the guesthouse in Penang]

ABOUT US .....Hey ! we're pretty easygoing, love sharing laughs, food, and enjoy a good balance of downtime and travel adventures.

[Benni]
I'm a neuro-divergent abstract artist, into dadaism, and love soukous music.
Spent my upbringing around Zambia, Zimbabwe, Spain, and sunny Australia

Then there's Blondie – a non-typical Aussie, with a love for good food, deep dives into literature, and academic pursuit. She's got a poetic side and dreams of being a cyborg.

Our philosophy? Keep things genuine, find joy in simplicity, and live life with a sense of freedom. That's us in a nutshell

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love the couchsurfing philosophy.... meeting forward-thinking people, exchanging ideas and good food.... and travelling more....
