CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and learn spanish

ABOUT ME

We're an Australian couple who last lived in London. We are currently traveling the world for three years. At time of writing (Jan 2011) we've been away for 2 years.
Mark was born in Malta, and Bridget, Zimbabwe. We both grew up in Australia, meet and then moved to London via a trip through South East Asia. After a couple of years in London we fled the cold wet weather to travel the world for 3 years.
So far we've explored Europe throughly, caught trains through India, Mark's trekked through Nepal and we've visited Bridget's family history in Africa.
Next stop is South America. When we finish we'll be heading back to London.

Jobwise Mark is a lawyer who would rather be a photographer and Bridget is in marketing but would love to own her own teashop, probably displaying Mark's photo's on the walls.

PHILOSOPHY

Mark - what more do you need in life than a few good friends, a good trek and a camera in your hand.

Bridget - 'it's not wrong it's just different'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We only just joined CS! And here we are trying to get to know this wonderful community...

Interests

We both love travel. We tend to say Mark travels with his camera and will go out of his way to get the perfect shot, while Bridget travels with her stomach and will obsess about the great food she has eated, is eating and can possibly eat in the future.

We also love reading, diving, hiking, any beautiful beach/ mountain/ forest/ city/ village we can explore.

Bridget loves tea and Mark looks for the perfect sunset.
