I live with my wife on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. We are both semi-retired, have three adult children and three grandchildren. We have both worked in secondary schools for many years, my wife Linda as a Maths and PE teacher, myself Maths, Science and PE plus I was a Deputy Principal for half that time.
We live 300 metres from the Alexandra Headland Beach where we have both been lifesavers for twenty years. We have hosted international students for over twenty years.
We are both vegetarian but eat eggs and a some fish.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

We were recently introduced to Couchsurfers by our son in law who’s has been a member for many years. We always have at least one bedroom available for visitors so we thought it would be good to offer that room to travelers and connect with others when we travel.
