Hello! We are a young, newly married couple from Melbourne, Australia, currently travelling in Central America and Europe for the year.

Bronte just completed her Bachelor of International Studies and Jack has been working as a full-time plumber for the past few years so given we have no kids, house, car or commitments we thought this would be the perfect time to get out and about in this big wide world... so here we are!

We love nature in all its glorious forms. We love wandering aimlessly around cities and finding amazing, peculiar, mysterious, fun and little things as we go. We love people, and the colour they bring to our lives, whether for a fleeting moment or for years on end. We love to learn, listen and be inspired. We love to dream. Essentially we are just pretty big fans of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well couch surfing is a very new venture for us, but we love meeting people from all over the world on our travels and this just seems like a pretty rad way to do this even more! We are very fond of the give and take approach of this community and as well as getting to experience the places we visit from a locals perspective, we also look forward to showing people around our hometown when we get the chance!

Interests

We both have lots of interests...
Travel is obviously up there...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : lots. Acoustic, alternative, a little bit of electro and indie pop... actually I'm not very good at labels but we can show you a bunch of really great Australian artists!

Movies : anything but horror.
I think Lord of the Rings has got to be one of our all-time caves

Books : we have too many (jacks pack weighs more than he does because we packed to many haha whoops!) Half the Sky and Lord of the Rings are being read at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... well just the other day we rode on the roof of a chicken bus through the countryside of Nicaragua... that was pretty cool :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We love to learn... whether its crazy stories from your life, about your favourite goldfish or whatever.. we are open to hearing it. We also really love sharing open or challenging discussions about world issues or whatever else and hear others opinions as well as sharing our own. Jack is also really good at music so he could teach you a thing or two on the guitar if you're looking for something more practical haha.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time and cooking and chats. That sounds like a nice combo to us!
