Friends Overseas Australia gives American travellers the chance to meet Australians on their home ground, and gives Australians the chance to show visiting Americans what this great country is really like!

We put American visitors in contact with Australian residents, who may offer to meet for a coffee in town or a trip around the sights. To find out more about participating, either as a visitor or a host, click one of the links below.

Friends Overseas Australia is run by Ann Whyte. Ann was born in Britain, settled in New York, married an Australian and travelled worldwide during her career in the airline industry, so she knows the value of meeting local people in faraway places. That's what led her to join Larry Eisner in running Friends Overseas, specialising in Australia, where she has family links.
