CURRENT MISSION

Live life! Try anything once!

ABOUT ME

We like to live life to the fullest, to see, hear, touch and taste the world in all it's vivid intensity. We've got two young children and love traveling as a family. We've just sold up our house and everything in it so we can travel full time!

PHILOSOPHY

"The only difference between myself and a madman is that I am not mad" - Salvador Dali

"But I have observed that the best people are frequently odd in one way or another. I have got in the habit of seeking them out and declining to trust anyone who has no oddities." - Neal Stephenson, Quicksilver

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spread the word and try to organise CS get togethers, surf and host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've both done a lot of couchsurfing. Yasmin has travelled around the world couchsurfing most of the time and introduced Graeme to it. Since then we've both hosted and couchsurfed together!

Interessen

Belly dance, dancing in general, music of all kinds but Graeme is especially into Heavy Metal. We love the ocean and everything in it, beauty in all it's forms, sailing, diving, hiking, adventure sports, reading, cooking, travelling, good wine, good food and most of all good company!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

In no particular order;
watched the sun set over the ocean, climbed a volcano, dived the Barrier Reef, travelled, laughed with a child, cried with a friend, watched the birth of a puppy, swam with dolphins, fell in love, been alone, watched a pack of orcas hunt, looked a humpback whale in the eye, held the hand of a dying loved one, felt pain, conducted a funeral, went to war, climbed a mountain, walked on a glacier, had a baby.
