An Australians currently residing in Latvia and travelling Europe with my partner. We will be doing various types of volunteer work (Help X, Workaway etc) where possible, as well as visiting the typical tourist destinations and exploring as many countries as possible. We both have backgrounds in tourism and hospitality, so we have become accustomed to our friends being spread out all over the world, and there's always room for more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to stay with fun people throughout our travels who love sharing their culture and learning about others. We believe the best way to experience a country is to get to know the locals, the food and the culture as much as possible (not the inside of a hotel room!) We are clean, neat and tidy people, who have the utmost respect for other's home and belongings, and respect the need for privacy and your own space.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am into almost all music except country and death metal... Obsessed with Italian mobster movies and shows (The Sopranos, The Godfather, The Family etc)....also love Vikings, Animal Kingdom, and documentaries about literally everything....not a huge reader anymore but I prefer non-fiction books where I can learn something (e.g history, languages, psychology)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have driven across the entire length of Australia alone, four times, for various work opportunities and the love of my life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love experimenting with cooking and learning how to use new ingredients that aren't available or widely used in my country, so this is something I enjoy sharing with new friends. I am currently learning to snowboard and teaching myself yoga daily. I enjoy learning languages and helping others improve their English. We both love anything to do with the ocean, nature, boats, water, being outside - so are always keen for exploring and adventures.
