Hello! We are Jamie and Betsy, an easy-going couple travelling South America for a couple months as part of a 1.5 year trip.

Originally from the US (Betsy) and UK (Jamie), we have called Sydney, Australia home for the past 7 years.

Travel is very important to us as a way to see the world, meet interesting people and expose ourselves to different ways of life and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are keen to meet new people and get a local's understanding of a new place. We travel lightly and love unexpected adventures.

Interests

• pets
• arts
• trail running
• food
• adventure

Music, Movies, and Books

We love live music from concerts to kitchen dance parties.
Reading - Jamie devours adventure and climbing books while I (Betsy) am a strict consumer of non-fiction and love social histories, art history, weird stuff and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Jamie - building, construction, general handiness. Jamie is also a quietly talented cook having cheffed in a former life.

Betsy - having recently retired from the world of big agency advertising, I am piecing back together my cold, sold-out soul. I still love provocative art, advertising and smart branding and enjoy teaching others how to navigate the murky waters of digital, social and content.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can prepare pretty wholesome vegetarian meals.
