We are a fun and friendly couple from Australia who are currently travelling the world over the next 12 months!
We have started in New Zealand, and will be travelling around South America, North America, Canada, and Europe (specifically Iceland, Spain, Switzerland, Croatia, Italy, and France).
Kirk is a 28 year old Carpenter and all around handyman, where-as Mish is 26 and has worked in many admin roles as well as a trainer/teacher, hospitality, and retail.
We both love anything to do with the outdoors, hiking, and camping - and are documenting all of our travels along the way (via videos, blogs, and lots of photography!) Feel free to follow our travel instagram account: @WeLiveWeExplore to see more about what we love to do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have created a Couchsurfing profile as we would love to learn more about the culture and local way of living in the countries that we are visiting.
We think that the best way to learn this is by interacting and meeting up with the people who live there! We are both very open-minded and friendly individuals who want to learn, share & experience all there is to in this beautiful world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing and memorable day of our lives was flying up by helicopter, and then hiking the Franz Josef Glacier in the south island of New Zealand. We learnt so much about the formation and history of this glacier, as well as had the opportunity to explore ice-caves & meet some wonderful fellow travellers.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are hoping that from this couch surfing experience we will be able to communicate with one another in their native tongue. We love to learn languages and as much about traditional culture and cooking as possible.
We would also be more than happy to teach others who are interested in learning some English language, & to host anyone interested in travelling to Australia upon our return home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Cooking worldly food (we love to make our own produce when we can! breads etc.)
- Astronomy and astrophotography
- Photography & post-production tips
- Social media management
- Tramping and travel experiences
- Lots of laughs and music
- Always good vibes :)
