Hello! I am Rachael. I am originally from Wales, UK and also a certified Aussie but live in New York City. Hamish, my husband is Australian. We like things normal people like Vegemite sandwiches, Kangaroo steaks and hugs with koalas. We are easy-going, love travelling and exploring different country's beer offerings!

Hamish loves sport and in particular Basketball. He supports the Portland Trailblazers but we can't all be perfect. I sing, blog and occasionally make and sell jewellery.

I am an Account Executive for a company called Shorthand in New York.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are looking to meet new people and have experiences that we may not have unless we meet and hang out with locals.

Friends of ours have used CS and recommended as the only way to travel.

Interests

Hamish loves sports. I think they suck. I love musicals he thinks they suck. Opposites attract right?

Music, Movies, and Books

We both have passions for all kinds of music and love gigs. Rach sings (not just in the shower) and thinks she is pretty good. We love Aussie music like The Preatures, Tame Impala, Cold Chisel( Hamish) but we also love rock, pop and everything in between.

MOVIES: Any Wes Anderson, any sci-fi and fantasy
