About Me

Mathew (39), Kate (34), James (2.5) and baby William (born June 2024).

We're passionate about travelling and the great outdoors, especially the ocean... any water sports like sailing, bodysurfing, surf lifesaving. Skiing and hiking are fun too.

We're hoping to couch-surf, house-sit and find short affordable rentals to allow us to travel as a family in Spain and Portugal in 2024 & 2025.

Easy going. We are always happy to share a meal or drink with a friend (or meet new ones).

We like to make the most of our luck by being optimistic, realising opportunities and trusting in other people.

Optimistic. No problems, only solutions.

Kate is a chiropractor and paramedic. Mathew is a physiotherapist.
