We are Lotus & Harry from Sydney, having being fortunate enough to travel the world and stay with amazing people we are now hosting.

We are both easy going, open-minded very laid back people. We really enjoy good beer, music ,travel, the outdoors and experiencing new things.

We live in the suburb of Marrickville in Sydney's inner west about 20mins by train from the city, its an up and coming area with lots of bars, cafes, pubs, live music, street art/graffiti, with some local art galleries too.

If you would like to stay with us its best you send a couch request rather than a message. Please do not request more than three weeks in advance.
Thanks for reading!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When we travel we love to meet & hang out with locals & experience their culture/way of life.
We've been hosted many times in various countries which has been incredible, now we finally have our own place and are really enjoying meeting and hosting people.
The CS community is great to be a part of, helping and sharing with other travelers is what its all about.
