Hi!
I'm Matt, and the other goofball in the photo is my best friend Tash.
A quick history:
I'm from Sydney, Tash from Melbourne.
3 Years ago we met on a sailing trip along the coast of Croatia.
Sharing many similar beliefs on travel, health & life in general we began travelling together.
Sharing many trips and adventures together over the last 3 years we now undertake our biggest yet. To explore the continent of South America!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We both believe the best element of travel is the friends and connections you make, and the couchsurfing community has always been so hospitable and reflects the type of people we would like to meet and share experiences with.

Interests

We both have a wide variety of interests and would consider ourselves jack-of-all-trades. In saying that, we both have a strong passion for healthy lifestyles and sustainable, eco-friendly living.
Movement and the outdoors are a high priority in our lives. Wether adventure sports, yoga, hiking, etc. The list goes on. You are most likely to find us somewhere outside playing.
We both love to cook as well, both living on a plant based diet (no dairy, eggs, meat). Showing others the delicious meals we can cook with this lifestyle is always one of our greatest pleasures.
Sharing the experience of life with others is involved in my other passion for photography and videography.

Music, Movies, and Books

While we both enjoy Movies & Reading, Music is an absolute must for us.
We rarely leave home without music and you can often find us dancing in the most unlikely of places.
The types of music we enjoy is very broad and have many playlists to reflect that, from classical to reggae, tropical house to chillstep, acoustic, pop, alternative and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once cycled the length of New Zealand, 3000km, from top to bottom over a month. This was with zero road cycling experience prior. A great example of type 2 fun: fun only in retrospect but not during the experience. As difficult as it was though, witnessing the beauty of the New Zealand wilderness, especially the southern island, will stay with me forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

We both have a great knowledge of the human body having both worked in the health & fitness industry for many years.
Cooking for our hosts would be a true pleasure,
While travelling through South America we would love to learn and practice our Spanish. We already practice Spanish Sundays where we only speak spanish to hopefully rapidly improve our understanding of the language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good food, Tall tales, and a passion for life!
