    Hello! Our names are Emma and Mark.

    We are an Australian/Scottish couple who met four years ago when Emma moved to sunny Australia. We are now embarking on an exciting year long adventure through Central and South America. We are excited to explore new cultures, learn new skills and explore the beauty of our planet.

    We live in Cairns, in Tropical Far North Queensland where we enjoy an outdoor lifestyle of camping, hiking and exploring the rainforest and waterfalls around us. We are very passionate about the outdoors and enviroment. We are both bubbily, freindly people who enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life.
