ABOUT ME

Gem, 23 and Basil, 22.

We are a fun-loving couple who live in Sydney, Australia. We both value friendship, laughter and a good sense of adventure. We like to think we get on extremely well with new people and try to take the positive out of every situation. We have travelled throughout Europe and many other places around the world, but are always looking for new places to explore.

I am a recently qualified Journalist with experience in film and documentary making. Basil is a recently qualified Architect with experience in building, landscaping and design.
