ABOUT ME

We are travel addicts always looking for our next fix!

TOM: Uk Rocker now in location unknown for a trip through Asia and Europe of indefinite length! Bands & Beer is my thing, and of course as much travelling as I can manage! Refusing to get old gracefully and looking forward to crazy times to come. Always looking for new cultural experiences and to make new friends from all over the world.

Favourite stuff: Music & Bands (Playing & Listening), Cooking (and the eating part after), New Experiences, Good conversation about culture, travel and philosophy.

Tipples of Choice: Red Wine, Ale, Whisky.

Megs:I spent 3 years working on cruise ships and I've now decided to see the real world. All the in's and outs that make a place amazing.

We are living together in Brisbane and we love to meet new and fascinating people who like a good drop of red, a tasty meal and a good laugh!!!

Tipples of Choice: Red Wine, Vanilla vodka - and any tasty cocktail!

PHILOSOPHY

There is more to life than working. There is a big world out there and we want to see as much of it as possible.

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do." - Confucius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've been hosting in Brisbane for the last year, but now we are hitting the road! So will hopefully be surfing an awesome couch near you very soon!

We fully embrace the essence of CS as a community and an opportunity for cultural exchange and meeting open minded people, we only host people who feel the same way about the project. We see the free accommodation aspect as a bonus, not as the sole purpose of CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tom: "I went to my first meeting whilst visiting Barcelona and I met a lot of great people from many different cultures. I am keen to meet more. I introduced Megsy to CS and she loves it too"

We have now had some couch surfers to stay, and every experience has been different and great, exactly what we were looking for!

Teach, Learn, Share

Tom:
"Anyone who is an open minded free thinker - the scientific method is the cornerstone of the success of modern civilisation, so long as you evaluate the world objectively rather than through superstition and dogma I will always be interested in your perspective even if it differs from my own."
