THIS SECTION IS SUPER IMPORTANT ... PLEASE ONLY SEND A REQUEST IF YOU FULFILL THE CRITERIA BELOW (OTHERWISE UNFORTUNATELY WE WILL HAVE TO SAY NO).
We feel as though it is important to have your profile as complete as possible (so we can learn about you as you have learnt about us and know where we share common ground) and to be specific about why you want to stay with us (make it personal!). We expect this from all people who request to stay and it is unlikely that we will accept your request if this is not the case.
We have specified that we prefer stays of 3-7 nights. Please respect this and only make a request if this is your intention. Thank you!! =)

CURRENT MISSION

Keeping our heads above water! Let us explain: We're chasing a toddler around the house, trying to eat well, both working and playing some sport, keeping the house clean-ish and keeping up with the washing ... currently a crazy life but we wouldn't have it any other way!

ABOUT US

Nathan is a massage and NeuroKinetic therapist and Sarah is an occupational therapist.
Our little man Toby was born at the end of 2015 and keeps us both very busy and very happy (and entertained!).
By the way, we love dark chocolate (the darker the better and organic if possible!) just in case you're thinking of bringing a little treat along! =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are making our home available to people from various backgrounds in exchange for their company and some interesting and exciting stories about their life experience. We would love to eat a traditional vegetarian meal from your country (we love food!)! We also appreciate any assistance that can be provided around the house & garden.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nathan has surfed in Iceland and France. We both surfed in Tasmania.
Together we have hosted both in Orange, NSW and Melbourne, VIC.

Music, Movies, and Books

We enjoy watching movies but can't remember when we last had the time to do so!
Between the two of us we have a wide-ranging appreciation for most styles of music (especially alternative and world music). Favourites at the moment include Spoon, DD Dumbo and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. We try to get to WOMADelaide every second year and love live music.
We both enjoy reading crime fiction, some fantasy, bios and historical fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nathan: Driving from Annecy to Aix-En-Provence in France. Driving both alongside and through the mountains in early spring. From narrow roads through 4 foot deep snow under grey skies to Autoroutes across plains and though tunnels with clear skies and big horizons. Then the narrow cobbled streets of Aix-En-Provence.
Sarah: Driving around the coast of Australia solo in my little car (stopping to do some WWOOFing, camping and family and friend visiting along the way) AND giving birth to our beautiful son at home in Dec 2015. I know it says one but I can't choose!

Teach, Learn, Share

English, tips about places to see and things to do around most of Australia, knitting, tennis, squash.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We enjoy cooking for others so would be happy to impress you with our skills in the kitchen! Also happy to help out with cleaning, gardening, renovation work or anything else that might need doing around the house. Just let us know and we'll be happy to oblige!
