About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To learn, to engage and be involved

ABOUT US
Having lived a quarter century in a geographical radius no larger than a few kilometres, Robin and Nicole have grown much longing for life outside the confines of their tropical island.

2014 - 2016, Robin was studying forestry at the Australian National University, joined by Nicole who pursued her creative exploits.

We're now back for awhile in our sunny little island, working to make more liveable spaces infested with greenery.

PHILOSOPHY
Live it up! Many avoid taking risks in life only to make it safely to death.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting travellers and spreading the good name of CS whenever we have the chance to, and showing travellers around local parts of Singapore!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did plenty of surfing at people's places around the land of the long white cloud and the wide brown land, all of which have left us with terribly sweet memories and friendships to last a lifetime.

Interests

We both do tree climbing, mountain biking, scuba diving, rock climbing, yoga, hiking, skiing, motorbiking, eating, cooking, and of course we have our personal hobbies -
She loves crafting and making stuff, and enjoys aerial silk and lyra.
He's basically a cycling/running/swimming/chicken-loving geek.

Oh yeah, we love our drinks. Even better if it's homebrew!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with whale sharks in Philippines,
Chilling with a hawksbill turtle 20m deep in the outer Great Barrier Reef,
Touring Laos on a dirtbike,
One particularly spiritual bánh cuốn experience in Hanoi,
Chilling under a blanket of stars in many spots around NZ,
everything to do with the Overland Track in Tasmania

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share the joys of tree climbing & aerial silk. We can go bike riding and go on long hikes too.
Of course there's always the option of binge eating good local food...
