Lauren and Rhys are travelling together for 8 months. We both quit our jobs and we are out seeing a bit of the world. We love nature and being outside, and we also love to chat and meet new people. Lauren loves hiking , baking and craft and Rhys loves camping, history and model making. We live in a rural area in Tasmania Australia. We both come from big families and we love to play board games. Both quite tidy, non smokers who dont mind a drink now and again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would like to couchsurf because so far we dont get to meet many people on our trip. We usually camp and stay in airbnb and often the host is not home and or doesnt want to chat. We want to know more about the countries we are visiting and what its like to actually live there. Also its nice to talk to someone else not just each other.

Interests

We both have very different interests, so chances are you will find something to talk to at least one of us about. We both love new experiences and like trying new things.
