We are hosting at certain times :) Please read our whole profile if you are considering asking to stay with us. Here’s to good times!

Hey guys, Id love a good chat and to form a new friendship regardless of whether or not we are meeting up or lending couches! Feel free to add me as a friend.

If you are applying to stay don’t feel the need to write a giant essay; but please communicate in a way that lets me know you read about us first.

Im Jake, here are a few points about me:

1. My wife and I are open minded people. We love meeting folks from every background and learning about what drives them.

2. Her name is Chloe-ann. We do pretty much everything together with our little dog 🐶 milo.

3. We are ex van-lifers - we converted a massive mercedes sprinter van into a camper and we lived in it full time off grid for 2 years. Now we live in a share house in Pacific Pines.

4. We appreciate the concept of minimalism; we have learned that possessions can be a burden; we are always trying our best to simplify our lives and reduce clutter so we can focus on the important things like goals and relationships.

5. My wife and I are both singers and we also play guitar. I write songs. We love music.

6. I can fix computers and phones. I had a great shop which I’ve now sold but still do repairs here and there. Let me know if you need something fixed and I will help you out if I have the time.

7. We are always on the lookout for hiking/adventure/camping/beach/paddleboarding buddies. We love doing outdoor stuff!

8. We sometimes like to host board game nights and group adventures with friends.

9. Chloe has a lash and brow salon near surfers paradise which has grown quite popular. She also sells lash and brow products in her second office.

10. I recently received my real estate license; also learning hypnotherapy, and doing sales work as a contractor for a prospecting company as well as disability support work. Yeah, I’m a bit scattered.

11. I naturally often find my way to deep conversations about life and spirituality, since I’ve always been intrigued about the nature of this life and reality.
Chloe and I shared a dramatic transition from deeply religious to open minded spirituality. We are open to everything and don’t dismiss anything. Love seeing the perspectives of others.

12. We love the gym and are Snap Fitness members. Happy to take you with us if you’re a member too. Not sure about their guest policy.

13. We are vegetarian and on a pretty strict diet. High quality (mostly organic where possible) food is important to us. We enjoy cooking for others and would love for our surfers to cook for us, if you have some great vego recipes, especially something unique or from your culture.

When guests stay with us, we ask that they be out of the house when we are, unless we expressly indicate otherwise. It is a shared space and we want to make sure all of the housemates are comfortable.

We share our large home with 2 housemates - nicole and caleb - who are both fantastic people. We will always run couchsurfing requests by them as well.

We accept guests of either sex, which I’m finding more and more rare here. In too many areas I see fake hosts accepting guests based on their sexual preferences, which is deeply off putting.

If that is you, please dont ask to stay with us.

If you dont have many reviews on CS please send a link to a social media profile so we can at least get a feel for you as a person.

Please only apply for a maximum of a couple days. We generally don’t accept longer stays unless we know someone well and the time slot works well for us. Generally 1-3 days is best and we can invite you to stay longer at our discretion if it seems doable.

If you request to stay more than a month in advance I probably won’t be able to give you a solid answer straight away. Feel free to send a request anyway.

Musica, film e libri

Ive been super into audible lately. Lost of spiritual books. We often watch movies and shows in the evenings. I enjoy a great series.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Camping in yosemite was pretty incredible

Insegna, impara, condividi

Im sure there’s a lot we can teach each other. If you happen to speak Spanish I always enjoy conversation buddies.

I have learned much already but am still quite slow and will be saying “como se dice” a lot!

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Keen to share my home, a great meal and time hanging out doing cool stuff
