CURRENT MISSION To see the whole world one country at a time. To meet as many people as humanly possible, and to have a beer with every one of them! ABOUT ME We are a married vegan couple, living in Melbourne's beautiful Dandenong Mountain Range. We are both animal lovers/activists and we share our home with two insane dogs and various resident native birds and furry critters that come to visit. We are very laid back, fun people who love nothing more than laughing and having a beer with our friends (old and new). We are both environmentally and socially concerned and active, but with a positive outlook on life and a sense of humour. We are both emergency services volunteers and active members in our local (awesome) community of Emerald.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING We have plenty of room to offer, and enough spare time to show people around. We love the idea of making new friends, and helping people to discover this beautiful place that we live in. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE We have hosted many people now, and are consistently amazed by the wonderful and fascinating people that keep turning up on our doorstep. Apart from hosting a large number of surfers over the years, we have also couch surfed in New Zealand, Fiji, France, Italy and the USA.
