My wife Allana and I are both passionate learners and travellers who love nature and the outdoors. We have been married for three years, and recently returned to Adelaide after 18 months away. We spent 3 months in the US with Allana's family, then flew to London. After visiting England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Paris, Malta, Sicily, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Turkey, Thailand, and the Philippines, we've come back to our "normal lives". I work in nature conservation and am studying biology at university, while Allana works as an administrator to pay the bills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While we were traveling we met so many beautiful people who showed us so much hospitality and kindness. We always knew that as soon as we had a house again we wanted to host couch surfers, to give back what we could. We can't wait to keep meeting fellow travellers and to share this lovely city that we live in.

Interests

We love hiking and camping, and are keen for any sort of outdoor adventure! We both love philosophy, history, and science.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One highlight from our travels was hiking the Lycian Way, an amazing trek in Turkey. We hiked roughly 350 kilometres, slept in our tent 30 nights in a row (except for the one night we slept on a boat), cooked our meals over the fire, got up close and personal with ancient ruins, and made friends with people, dogs, and goats in equal measure!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are both eager to be helpful! We are more than willing to help keep things tidy while we are sharing your home. We both enjoy cooking - Brad makes a mean vegetarian curry and Allana is a banana bread and brownies queen. We are generally just open, honest people who love to talk and share stories.
