ABOUT US

LIAM
Hey couchsurfers, I'm a very laid-back, friendly guy, love having a laugh, meeting people, going on adventures, maybe a few drinks and definitely a dance if the music's right.
I'm from a pretty small coastal town south of Sydney, Australia. I've spent most of my life next to the ocean and love being around it. I enjoy the simple things in life like surfing, camping around a fire, drinks with friends, music, nature in its many beautiful forms, animals, riding, hiking, partying, seeing awesome views, sharing great food with friends. I love camping in nature but also enjoy living in a big city with so much to do, seeing live music, art etc. I also love board games at the moment! I'm studying a Masters in teaching and working casually as an ESL teacher so am often busy, but can usually fit in a meal, a chat or a beer! ;D

FRANCES
Hi everyone! I grew up in Sydney and have always loved its beauty and relaxed nature. I've couch surfed only once before and it was great so I'm looking forward to having more experiences and sharing our home with others. I'm easygoing, enjoy a laugh and a strong cup of coffee. Some of my favourite things at the moment would be exploring the outdoors, cloud-watching/star-gazing, reading books, dancing, going for a swim and playing board games. On the other hand, I could easily do without horror movies, cockroaches and rollercoasters! I speak some basic Mandarin and have recently started in beginner Spanish lessons. I work full time but am looking forward to sharing our favourite things about Sydney with you over a dinner or drink.

PHILOSOPHY

These aren´t my personal philosophies, just some I like...

"Only after the last tree has been cut down,
only after the last river has been poisoned,
only after the last fish has been caught,
only then will you find,
that money cannot be eaten." Cree Indian Prophecy

"Variety is the spice of life."

"I am a man, nothing human is foreign to me." Montaigne

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." Saint Augustine

"Just give me sunshine through the Autumn,
sweet snow to the spring,
corn by the water of an old mill stream,
and you give me all, you give me all"
-Simple Ben, John J. Francis, Morning of the Earth
