About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and be forever learning, growing & discovering the world.

ABOUT ME

We are a couple, 2 Australians just made it home (OK so not so recently now, but the rest sits pretty true), after a 6 month journey around the US, UK & Europe.
We love seeing all there is to see but I think it's fair to say the favourite part of our travels has been feeling like we have some kind of grasp on the life in each place and meeting new wonderful people along the way.
We want to learn and grow and experience all there is to life, and I certainly don't think you can do that without getting out there!
This was hopefully the first of many crazy worldy adventures, and am really looking forward to couch surfing help us acheive this.

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment I think it is just to be open to anything & everything. We are both young and have alot to take in from the world, I just think be up for anything & enjoy you life! Try not to stress!
