About Me

ABOUT ME

We are two 27 year olds from the East Coast of Australia who are currently living in Melbourne. We like wandering wondering days, tea, cinema, warm houses and friendly people.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people as you wish to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have spent many a lovely evening on the floors / couches / spare beds of people throughout Japan, England, Europe and America. We have also hosted people (but not as many as we would have liked).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have couchsurfed quite a bit, and all the people we have met have been really generous and friendly. It is especially nice when the people we stayed with took the time to show us around, as so many of the places we visited we would not have ever found by ourselves.

Interests

Food and wine, music, architecture, bonfires, dancing, visual arts, learning Italian, theatre, scuba diving, skiing, swimming, festivals, sleeping, excited conversations, pretty much anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We rode bikes around an abandoned amusement park outside Nara, Japan, one afternoon - that was pretty lovely.

We can't really teach anything in particular, but we like learning and listening, and sharing what we have.
