About Me

About us! We are simple people, we simply adore traveling, love simplicity, recycling, minimalism and nature, prefers meeting new people and experiences rather than accumulating things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love traveling, meeting people, sharing our culture and exchanging travel stories with new found friends. What better way to do so than couchsurfing! Besides, we prefer staying in homes rather than hotels or hostels. The heart feels warmer that way...

Interests

We love traveling! (Did we say that again?), Listening to music, watching movies, snorkelling, scuba diving, reading, cooking, learning new skills, meeting new people... That's all for now... folks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not one but many amazing stuff(in our opinion) we've done!

We survived a boat fire during one of our traveling trip in the Phillipines while island hopping, we got to jump into the open sea, and wait for rescue while stranded on an island! It is awesome that we live to tell the tale!

Getting married in New Zealand in Dec 2015, with two of our new found friends (that we met while traveling in Niue!) as our witnesses! Travelled Australia and NZ for four months as our backpacking honeymoon!

We did a Bruny Island Bike escapade which landed us on a beautiful long beach with no one in sight and we slept one night in a "secret" hut, divulged to us by a local.

We did the Milford Sound Track walk for 4D3N, Pitched tent on Lake Sylvester at Kahurangi National Park in the midst of a huge fog to wake up to a beautiful view in the morning! Camped for a night in secret in a cave on a private farm to meet the owner in the morning and he pointed us to go caving in his very own private cave, it was a 1.5 hr harrowing caving experience!
