Got a passport in 2014 and haven't looked back. Have started to travel 3-4 months a year. We slowed down our travels in 2020 along with the rest of the world. I also lost my profile after the world stopped and most of my old references. Andrew and I have hosted hundreds of Couchsurfers. We absolutely love to host people in our home and share our lovely part of the world with them. One of my greatest joys is the social aspect of hosting and I was sad during the years in which Australia's borders were closed. We love to hear about everyone's travels, the places they've lived, the adventures they've had, the food they eat at home and all the things that make humans so wonderfully interesting. Please mention “whoops a daisy” when asking to stay. We love to travel. When we travel, we try to spend 3-4 weeks in a single country, rather than hoping around. We love cold European winters and Asian foods. We have yet to explore Africa or the Americas but our time for that will come ... there is just so much of the world to see and experience. We are independent travellers so we will go out to explore your local area if we stay with you. But we also love to connect so would love to hang out if you are free.
