About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking a break from reality..

ABOUT ME

G'day, g'day. We got married at the beginning of 2008 and have been on an extended honeymoon since! We are both high school teachers and spent last year teaching in South Korea, and are spending this year travelling. Caught the travel bug after doing one year of high school in Japan and want to experience life as much as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for living. Don't just think about it, do it. Don't be a couch potato, be a couch surfer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living with host families for a year in Japan when we were seventeen. An absolutely amazing experience and we are forever grateful to all of our host families for allowing us to capture a glimpse of their everyday lives. Living with locals is the perfect way to seeing a different world.
