Mark and Mikaela Elbourne
We LOVE traveling, adventure, sport, food, God and people! We are a young married Christian couple who are currently living our dreams by living abroad for a few years! We are open minded and love to meet new people with all sorts of beliefs! Kind is cool! The goal is to visit as many countries, see as much as we can & meet many new people in 2 years as possible, without going broke. Currently based in London.
We are both teachers, originally from Adelaide, South Australia. We are always super keen to get outside, explore and enjoy life! Mark is a High school trained PDHPE major with minors in Science and Outdoor Education. Mikaela is Primary Teacher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have a couch!.... We love meeting new people from all over the world and always strive to be accommodating to those in need. And hopefully then one day we can also visit you somewhere in the big world we live in!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music and movies - Everything and anything! Whatever is 'cool' at the time hah! But if we had to pick one it would be acoustic jams!

Books - Mikaela LOVES books! Picture books, kids books and all! Classic Primary School Teacher! She is always looking for book recommendations, but some current favourite authors are Jane Harper and Liane Moriarty.

We both love to play board games, & will learn new ones!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mark - Travelled through Brazil and in particular the Amazon for 2 months to build toilets, help with medical supplies and run kids clubs for numerous villages deep in the Amazon forest.

Mikaela - Hiking the Annapurna Trail in Nepal, & the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail in South Australia.
