One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 we were living out of our van and driving around Australia. We went to Uluru (Ayres Rock) in the Northern Territory, climbed 90 meter trees in Pemberton in Western Australia and walked through an ancient forest in the Florentine Valley in Tasmania.
In Canada our transmission blew up in a native indigenous community. The medicine man of the community was incredibly generous to us by inviting us to stay with him while we sorted out our car. He shared so much knowledge and showed us so much love throughout the week we stayed with him. It was such an incredible experience that we will never forget!
In Central America we climbed Volcanoes, swam in Cenotes and in the Caribbean, went for wild jungle adventures and visited Mayan ruins. In South America, we biked through the deserts, climbed Machu Picchu, lived and hiked amongst the Andes Mountains, visited the Bolivian Salt Flats and meditated by Lake Titicaca.

Teach, Learn, Share

We would love to learn about alternative and sustainable lifestyles and communities, aswell as methods of travel such as hitching and getting by with little money.
We would love to share our leather and macrame creations aswell as teach these crafts, along with Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal massage and meditation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We love to cook, so we can cook up delicious dinners that can cater for a wide range of diets - vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.
We enjoy having meaningful conversations with people about life, philosophy, the environment.
We also love to craft, and can share leather work and macrame techniques. Brent is a technical wizard and can assist in anything technical, and i can offer guided meditations, massage and reiki.
