Hey!
We are two 25 year old guys from Sydney, with an apartment in the middle of Manly.

We live a pretty active lifestyle, lots of surfing, exercise and outdoors. We hang out with friends, love to travel, and have a good time when not working.

I am currently working on my own business projects so have a lot of free time to hang out around Manly. My housemate is a pilot and works out at the airport.

Shoot me a message to see if we can host you! We don't have a spare room but two decent sized couches in the living room (or blow up mattresses if you prefer)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

**Update** I'm travelling by myself around the states! Would love to meet some locals in the cities I visit, and maybe share a beer or some local advice.

I love to travel. And I love it even more when I know someone in the city who can show me around! Nothing beats local knowledge - it can make or break your view of a city.

I want to share some of the things I love about Manly and Sydney. If I can make someone's travels a bit easier, show them a thing or two, and have a good time along the way...that's a win-win.
