Hi guys, my full profile is here https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/salbievs
Please check it out as I accidentally opened a new one through Facebook :)
This profile has history of our awesome couchsurfing experience, been vouched with references and all.
We are a Sydney-siders family with a teenager. We love to travel, though in a pretty strict training schedule for our 13yo. She trains with National Development squad @Olympic Park, has 20+ hours of tennis weekly juggling academics in Year 10 alongside with Advanced Y12 Maths and Mandarin, piano lessons, diving, nippers and robotics @ UNSW :)
I enjoy ocean swimming - we do it here regularly in groups at sunrise. We run beach running group, park runs, fun marathons like SunRun, Beach2beachrun, Sydney Marathon, we are going to walk that Bloody Long walk next week too! ^_^
My husband is an educated sophisticated dude with a big passion for World cinema, he reads and intellectualises, he's also a professional chef (yummy dinners on us while we stay with you!) and a sourdough Baker! We'll keep you entertained 100%
Yana, Ruslan and Maiia Salbievs :D :P ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the idea! Hosted several times, been hosted most welcomingly - proud to prove this World is a great place and we are surrounded by great generous people and the kindness exchange is happening, hearts are open and all :)
We live in one of the best places in the whole world, I reckon - Sydney Northern beaches. We are lucky to run barefoot and swim and sing and share love with many cool visitors here.
