My wife Leanne and I live with our two teenage children on the Gold Coast in Australia. We are formerly from New Zealand and have lived here since 2009. We run a marketing consultancy business. Our passion is travel and we have recently launched The Expat Chat podcast on I tunes where we interview global nomads and expat relocators about their new lives overseas (www.theexpatchat.com). It became the No 1 new travel podcast on I tunes for both Australia and The US market.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are looking both to host visitors to the Gold Coast and the opportunity to stay with locals in other parts of the world, either as a couple or family. We enjoy meeting people from different cultures particularly expats in other countries who might be ideal interviewees for our podcast.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a podcast (well it shocked me!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love the opportunity to meet with people of different cultures and discover how different yet similar we are. I've loved doing the podcast interviews - I feel like Ive made new friends from doing it and listening to them has inspired me to travel and raised my faith in humanity from the wonderful people stories they have shared.
