Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are new members to couchsurfing and thought we'd give it a go! We have many "Australian experiences" we can share with others and are interested in broadening our horizons overseas to other countries!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is new to us but we have travelled to New Zealand, China, Canada and USA. We have always loved meeting "real local people" and enjoyed outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, horse riding,boat trips etc.

Interests

Now our two children have ventured into the world with their own careers and study pursuits, we figure it's time for us to "get out and about"! We are particularly interested in learning about local agriculture and industries,and perhaps seeing a school or two. We enjoy wining and dining and soaking up local, cultural atmoshpheres!
