We are a couple in our early 50s from the amazing far north coast of NSW, Australia where we have 21 acres of pasture and rainforest with creeks. We have owned the land for 20 years, build our beautiful eco home, planted an orchard and vegetable garden and raised two wonderful boys there. They have now left home and we are free to travel again. Paul is a builder and Robyn a gardener and accountant. We both love life, meeting interesting and fun people, exploring new places, learning about new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Solely to meet people and learn about their religion, viewpoints, culture and lifestyle.
We also believe that with more cross cultural experiences, the world can become a more compassionate and peaceful place.

Interests

We have a thirst for travelling, but are very interested in getting to know people and understanding their view points and culture. We would rather be travellers than tourists. We love great conversation, particularly about world and environmental issues.

Paul loves his guitar, and Robyn her photography.

We both love hiking, exploring, cycling, kayaking, yoga, dancing and music. We keep fit and healthy and young at heart.

We both love gardening, particularly Permaculture and organic gardening.
