Hi! We're an Australian couple in our 30's living in Queensland, Australia. Put us outside and in a good conversation and we're happiest! Camping, ocean activities, travel and reading are our common interests.

Ash loves 4WDing, fishing, and more recently - ice baths! I love the ocean and am happiest when I am surfing, listening to music, or outside with a book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are travelling to Italy for the first time in September and would love to engage with some locals. We would love to hear your stories, see the area you call home, & learn from you.
