CURRENT MISSION

Australia

ABOUT ME

After helping with the rebuilt of a earthquake damaged house in Christchurch and sewing up hundreds of vinyl tyre covers as well as insulating the underfloors of more than 75 houses, we re facing our next adventure: Australia!

We have been a steady couple since August 2009, who are interested in culture, landscape and people from all parts of the world - we love to experience it as well so we make an effort to travel when we can!However, sometimes we enjoy sitting and watching hours tv sitcoms/movies, while we are eating lots of self cooked food.We love the nature with all its life.

PHILOSOPHY

It is no disgrace to fail, but a shame to have never tried it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, we are unable to host as we are traveling.The surfing will definitely help us gain insight for the future when we have a home play the role of host/hostess...as each experience and person has a different twist with their hosting style :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS Christchurch has been our first CS community and it has been wonderful!!We just learned of the group/community forums - so we look forward to how this will shape our CS interactions :)
