ABOUT ME

There are 2 of us as we are a couple!

1. Nicky.
I grew up on the Wirral just outside of Liverpool. After finishing uni at the end of May '08 I flew out with a group of friends including Jon to Auz which is where my 6 month trip began.

When i am at home i play waterpolo for Liverpool Ladies, we were the winners of last years National league and play in Europe every year as well!

When i grow up i want to have my own coffee house!

2. Jon
I grew up on a farm in a small town called Locking just close to W-S-M. I have a degree in Sport Science from UWIC. I began travelling after uni in Nov 2007. This was working on a farm in New Zealand in a small town called Methven which is near Christchurch. I travelled the south island before popping back to Cardiff for 2 months before flying to Auz with Nicky and a few of our friends.

When not travelling i also play waterpolo, but i play for UWIC and Bristol university in British National League for men.

When i grow up i want to join the RAF.

PHILOSOPHY

Have to be happy in all you do! Live life to the absolute full and enjoy every possible moment!

Be prepered for everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We want to experience the hospitality of local living people around the world. We also would like to offer other travellers a (sofa)bed in cardiff!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are brand new coach surfers! We have learned some stories from our 2 french friends who have coach surfed in Hong Kong and Hanoi. They also are hosts in Paris and we think the experience sounds excellent!

We couch surfed in Bankok in a town house and fancied hosting ourselves.

Interests

Waterpolo
outdoor activities: mountain biking, hiking, surfing, travelling
We also both like havin a good ol' chin wag with old and new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

A good British movie is always a laugh.

Any type of book is usually a good way to take it down a notch!

Chill out music mostly, but enjoy some different new music every now and again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spent a hell of a long time on a bus in Loas.

drove to Uluru from Cairns in 2.5 days.

Whilst watching the Olympics, i saw some players i had played against whilst in europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can both cook good English meals so if you need any tips we can show you!

Jon. I can teach people about farming and can fix most mechanical things!

Nicky. I did a degree in Psychology so this is usually an interesting topic of conversation! I also would like to improve on my Spanish, which is rusty!
