Dave (26) is originally from Wellington, NZ and I'm originally from South Africa (Jenny - 25). My family immigrated to NZ when I was a child so I'm very much a "kiwi" now. Dave and I met at a friends house while we were both studying and we've now been married for nearly 3 years! We both love travelling and really wanted to do it long term for a while before we look at buying a house so we decided to do a working holiday in Europe this year, working on and off in the UK and travelling as far and wide as we can!

Our exciting 1 year adventure started on April 25 so in many ways our journey has just begun but we have already visited some pretty cool places. You can check out our travel blog at www.forpureadventure.com

We're really friendly and interested to learn about new cultures and ways of life (and maybe pick up some new language skills along the way!). We're by no means chefs but we love food and learning to cook new and exciting dishes! NZ doesn't have a lot of traditional food but what we know we'd love to share with you.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

We really believe that local knowledge is essential to any great overseas trip and we also want to try new things we haven't done before so couch surfing is the perfect fit for us as it's something we've always wanted to try. We really want to see what it's like and also host some more visitors once we have our own place again back in NZ.

We've also been doing some volunteering and house sitting. You can see our profiles here:
