About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and love life with my wife.

ABOUT ME

My name is Ned and I am a 25 year old Australian.
I am married to a beautiful woman named Tren.
I love to surf, enjoy most sports and enjoy socializing over a a cheeky frosty (beer) here and there.
I am the youngest in a big family... So I am known as spoilt one in my family but my siblings are just jealous of my youth!
My wife Tren is also in being in the great outdoors and loves doing anything crafty.
We have been married since February 2011 and are both going through career changes as we are now studying to become primary school teachers.

PHILOSOPHY

To love is to live

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My sister and I enjoyed 1 'surf' when trvelling in South Africa with my sister in Johannesburg. The people were amazing and set a high standard of hosting... that's a challenge for any potential hosts!

Tren and I loved there time in Paris where they were looked after by two beautiful parisians CS and learnt how to cook a true tanjine in Morocco while CS with Joy and Hakim.
