About me
Hi, couple, with family, early 40’s. Home town Sydney……
Wife born in NZ, moved to Australia 10 years ago, after living in London. Done a bit of backpacking travel – Europe (about 12 countries), Morocco (twice), USA (22 or so states), Asia (6 countries), Bali.
Husband born overseas, arrived in Oz when 6yrs. Last couple of years been to NZ and Vietnam.
Travel “backpack/flashpack” just the two of us. Like to experience the country and not follow the hoards of tourists. Stay in mini-hotels and meet the locals.
