My partner, Ryan, and I are currently living and working on a tiny island off the East Australian coast. Two years ago we packed up our 9-5 lives in Sydney and have been exploring ever since. We're happiest when we're travelling so we've made that our priority.

Ryan is a primary school teacher and I am a TV producer. We are both non smokers and currently balancing our time between volunteering, working on farms and visiting cities.

We love that Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to feel more part of a community rather than hotels. we also understand that these are privately owned homes so will respectfully treat them as if they were our own.

Look forward to connecting!

Thanks,
Crystal & Ryan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a tourist offers a very limited insight to a new place or culture... Couchsurfing allows us to connect with likeminded people and discover different cultures in a uniquely local way. These genuine connections also become the most valuable part of travelling.
