We're a relaxed, fun loving family of 4 living in beautiful Beechworth. We also have a big old dog and 2 cats. We moved from Melbourne in 2015 and now have space for surfers again and couldn't be more excited to meet some of you!

We love to have people visit, enjoy great food, wine, stories and board games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to entertain, and hang out with people who have stories to share.

We spent 6 months traveling in Europe in 2009. We surfed with about 20 people and still rave every day about how amazing and special our trip was, thanks to our amazing hosts.

We want people to leave our beautiful part of the country with only the best of memories and can't wait to share it with you

Reading and talking about everything and anything over a glass of red.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jess will listen to pretty much anything, heavy metal is pushing it a bit far, but other than that I'll give it a go! (Edit: one of our hosts played heavy metal on a road trip to educate me and I really enjoyed some of it, he did mix with some 'more my style' heavy rock to ease me in! - BEST GUY EVER!)

Rhys has an extensive music collection that he loves to add to, so bring along your favourite tunes to share with us.

We both love to read and have, well.... too many books! Although since having children reading is much more difficult to achieve!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jess traveled up the East Coast of Australia and lived in a tent for almost a year.
We traveled Europe for 6 months together and had a ball!
In 2015 we upped our city lives and headed to Beechworth - best move ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

We'd love to share a slow, chilled out way of life. Our Sundays usually consist of a leisurely walk into town, a potter about the shops and a visit to the brewery before wandering home to enjoy cheese and sunshine on the deck.

Rhys has a recipe of two he'd be happy to share as well.
