CURRENT MISSION

Learn about Australia from the locals

ABOUT ME

We are a couple travelling for a year after just finishing our studies. We already spent 5 months in South-Africa, where we travelled for 3 months, did a month volunteer work and did a game ranger course in the Kruger Park. We just arrived in Australia where we will travel around for 4 months. We hope to make a lot of new friends here and find out what real Australian life is about!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to enjoy it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment we are travelling and homeless =), so we are looking for places to stay. When we get back to the Netherlands we would also like to host, especially for people we have met during our own travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Right now we have hardly any couch surfing experience, although we sort of couch surfed once with family in Munich. We met a couple in South-Africa and they were really enthusiastic about couch surfing, this convinced us to also give it a try.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a month in the Kruger Park, learning all the ins and outs of the life as a game ranger. Fantastic!

Teach, Learn, Share

Maaike: What I would like to learn from people is to be more relaxed in life and to open up more to new people. In return I have free (sportive!) poledancing lessons on offer ;).
Stephan: Eager to learn anything new. I can teach you how to fix your computer problems (we all have them, right?).
