CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life as it presents itself, to share it with as many good people as we can!

ABOUT ME

Ben and Breony are couple based in Byron Bay, Australia.

Breony is just finished her last year of uni and is working as a casual teacher in a local Steiner school. She loves to dance, listen to and create music. Gardening is also a favourite :)

Ben works as a bush regenerator helping to regenerate the local ecosystems in the hills around Byron Bay. He can be most easily spotted when around a pool table. He is the one that has a really innocent face as he smashes all the balls away in 5 seconds flat.

We are both vegetarians and are always looking for new yummy recipes. We love to get out and see a bit of live music! We've been getting out a lot lately, riding to the beach for a swim or heading to the hills for a stroll in the bush.

PHILOSOPHY

Love to have a balanced lifestyle.... Love, friendship, health and creativity. You've gotta be able to have a good laugh and share your experiences with some good people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are just about to embark on a hosting adventure, I am looking forward to welcoming many a traveler into our area :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have travelled using couch surfing through France and America, it is such an awesome tool to get in contact with the real locals of the area, to experience the true culture of a place and to meet new friends. I could not travel in hostels having the same old conversation after experiencing the genuine openness and warm hearts of my couch surfing hosts. They have inspired me to 'pay the kindness forward'.
