Hi! I'm Samantha and I'm travelling with my friend Miranda. We're both Australian, so very friendly and easy going. We booked a one way ticket to backpack Europe (very exciting!) and love learning about new cultures and exploring cities. We're about 2 months through our travels so far and are loving every minute of it (: We're both carrying guitars, I've been playing for 5 years and Miranda has just started learning although has been playing classical piano almost all her life. We've stayed in a few airbnb's before and love them because we get a more authentic view on the culture. We're just starting out with couch surfing. I studied acting in Australia and Los Angeles and I've worked in numerous places in hospitality and sales. Miranda has worked for 5 years in hospitality and almost 2 years in medical reception and has previously worked in a child care centre. With these kinds of jobs it is essential to be able to communicate well with customers/patients so we both have excellent people skills. It is in our best interest to meet a diverse range of people and share knowledge and cultures.
