CURRENT MISSION

Love, learn and swim in the ocean!

ABOUT ME

We are a young married couple from Australia. We are passionate about social justice. We love the outdoors.
Casper loves bikes. Erin loves the ocean.

Back in Australia after a few years abroad. We live in Peppermint Grove BeACH on the South-West coast of Oz, about 20 metres from the beach. So lucky.

One day, when we grow up, we plan on getting real jobs, like big people. But for now, we're just doing our best to live fully the amazing privelege that we are lucky enough to have.

PHILOSOPHY

"Love one another and you will be happy. It is as simple, and as difficult, as that."
- Michael Leunig

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We had a lovely time couch-surfing our way around the place over a few years abroad.
Now we're back in Oz and we want to return the favour of so many generous people (not just couchsurfers) that we met while we were away in strange places. So often, people just went out of their way to help us - and since we can't give them enough thanks directly, we just want to pass the favour forward and make sure other travellers have the same kind of experiences of human kindness that we did.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have been surfing couches throughout Germany, Austria, Poland, the Middle East and have absolutely loved the chance to meet locals and get to know some amazing people that we would otherwise miss out on.
