ABOUT ME

When we're not travelling we live in Sydney, Australia. In May 2014 we quit our jobs and hit the road on a massive backpacking trip: a year in Latin America, a few months in Europe, and a few months in India. We returned to Australia in November 2015 and are currently readjusting!

We are a friendly/easy going couple who love to travel and meet new people. We're not into touristy stuff - we like experiencing local life instead.

Kyle has travelled and couchsurfed through various parts of the USA and a bit in Europe. Together we have travelled in North Africa, Europe and the UK, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and all through South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and India.

When travelling we love hanging out with locals, eating lots of food, drinking tasty beers, and watching bands (Kyle also plays in a band).
