Overview
About Me
Mathew (37), Kate (32) and baby James (born March 2022).
We're passionate about travelling and the great outdoors, especially the ocean... any water sports like sailing, bodysurfing, surf lifesaving. Skiing and hiking are fun too.
Currently travelling around Australia in our campervan. Mostly self sufficient (usually no couch required) although we love meeting locals, sharing meals/ walks/ swims/ conversations. The occasional hot shower, washing machine, fresh water tap, local advice can be super helpful.
Easy going. We are always happy to share a meal or drink with a friend (or meet new ones).
We like to make the most of our luck by being optimistic, realising opportunities and trusting in other people.
Optimistic. No problems, only solutions.
Kate is a chiropractor and paramedic. Mathew is a physiotherapist.
