We are a happy, creative couple from Australia that like art, dancing, music, making costumes, wearing costumes, dancing, festivals, growing food, cooking food and eating food.
We are involved with various theme camps at Burning Seed (Australia's regional Burning Man event) and have also been to 'The Big One' several times, as well as AfrikaBurn this year for the first time. We luff it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best way to meet local people and gain insight into a place. It leads to more authentic experiences of community and engagement with a place. It's a great way to keep connected to new people and travellers in your home town by hosting events.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Danced tango down a misty street in Buenos Aires at 6am being cheered on by the garbage collectors. Lived and worked on a permaculture farm school in the remote jungle on the Viet Nam/Laos border. Sailed around Sardinia on a fancy yacht. Sailed from Cairns to Darwin on a not so fancy yacht, including a very large and a little scary storm in the open water.
