Hello everyone, Will and Margaux here. I'm Australian, from Adelaide, and Margaux is French, from Rennes. We are both keen travellers and couch surfers 😊

I'm a pretty easygoing guy, like meeting new people, and I like to be social. I especially like hiking and camping! Big sports fan as well, I like watching cricket and Aussie rules footy, and I am trying to get into running and cycling. I'm a keen reader too, nothing better than a good book.

Margaux loves sewing and crafting. She likes making garments from re-purposed fabrics. Margaux is also a keen gardener, spending a lot of time on the veggie garden and really enjoys being active and in nature. Also, a bit of a hula hooper and circus enthusiast. She is currently teaching herself woodwork.

Most of all, we both love to spend time with our cat, Princess! We adopted Princess when she was already 9 or 10 years old from a shelter and we are focused on just giving her and our 2 pet chickens (Barbie and Chickira) their best lives :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I think it's a good way to meet locals and get an experience of a new place, as well as making friends and learning about different cultures. As a host it's a great way to bring travelling to me, when I can't travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been great! Margaux, my wife and I actually met through Couchsurfing, she stayed on my couch and the rest is history, as the saying goes :)

Couch surfing is a fantastic community and I've made some lifelong friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a huge music fan, but I'm happy listening to the radio and singing along like a weirdo :)

I love to read! I'm a big Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, Stephen Leather, and Lee Child fan. Have got into fantasy too and enjoyed the Wheel of Time and also The Stormlight Archives. Lastly, of course, I love, Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Movie wise, I usually like serious movies. A recent favourite is The Banshees of Inisherin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived the van life in Canada for 2 years, as we crossed the country. Was such a glorious experience. Great to travel at your own pace and explore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm slowly learning French, so any help would be great! I could teach you a bit of Australian slang in return. Always up for sharing stories too!

Margaux is a vegetarian chef, so I’m sure she would love to cook with you, she also takes pride in her veggie garden, so if you’d like to learn about gardening or share some tips with her she would love that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love to share some travel stories and adventures! Margaux is a chef and loves cooking, so I'm sure she would love to take over your kitchen or cook with you and share recipes!
