Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Hosting travelers at the moment (until we save money to head off again) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE We love to have people from all over the world bring a little of their culture into our home.
Music, Movies, and Books
Simple Plan is a family favourite. We all love music - Ike (14) is a mad keen drummer so he is always tapping a beat. We all enjoy a variety of music. We rarely watch TV or movies. Reading ..... that's a homework chore only ... we arent readers.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
In 2012 we did a 4 month trip through the UK and Europe in a Wicked Camper. 120 days through 24 countries - very proud of our family for making it ! A truly life changing experience ! We have backpacked through Thailand and Vietnam. Have traveled to lots of South Pacific Islands. And live in Vanuatu regularly ... mostly on a tight budget with our children.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want my children to become successful adults .... what is a successful adult? One that follows their dreams and achieves their own life goals with hard work and some creativity - perhaps like many of you couch surfers. A successful adult is not one stuck in an office all day earning huge income and buying unnecessary material objects.
What I Can Share With Hosts
a comfy bed, some gorgeous beaches, simple healthy food, an insight into an Australian family
