CURRENT MISSION

To lose ourselves in the world

ABOUT ME

We are a couple of Australians (Rose 23 & Mat 31) who jacked in our jobs to discover a little about the world. We have been travelling since May 2009 and are both still blown away each and every day by the people we meet and the things we see.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are surfers at the moment but can't wait to host people upon our return home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Throughout our lives there have been people blowing in and out of our house, just needing a place to stay, for short and long periods of time. Having a home away from home, a place as a base or for respite is a beautiful gift to offer a wondering traveller.

We are now off to do some wondering of our own...

Music would have to be the life blood and universal language but books take the very close second place and matched with a good cup of coffee or tea is absolute bliss.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

We both recently had the opportunity to sleep on the Great Wall of China.

We both spent 2 weeks volunteering at an animal refuge in Bolivia and it was truly brilliant, working with some beautiful monkeys, big cats, birds and even a bear. Absolutely magic time of 12hr days, bites and scratching and amazing interactions with some truly fascinating personalities
