Dream big, aim high, it opens up so much potential and oportunity.

Life is a gift.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet other travellers, i am proud of my city. I know how much fun and daunting travelling can be. Locals always know the interesting places to go!!

Couch Surfing should be treated as a way to meet locals, and know much more about a place than other visitors would. It is not for free loaders to use locals to subsidise their holidays, who wish to share their home with you. Hosts enjoy travelling as much as surfers, please remember that.

Having hosted over 200 people now, and receiving requests on a daily basis. I have found it financially impacting me. I am happy to host, however i do ask for each couch surfer to contribute $5 each per night toward utilities. I am totally open about this and it is not for financial gain. There are plenty of Airbnb rooms nearby for between $50-$80 per night, for those earning an income. I leave for work around 7am In the morning, you will need to leave with me when I leave my place.

I love my city and its surroundings, Wineries, The River Murray, so many beaches, the Fleureau Peninsula and Adelaide Hills. It is a privilege to live here amongst so much wonder.

For those visiting Kangaroo island, and not wanting to leave your belongings in a bus station locker. I can store your belongings for $15 per night, this is so I am not used and taken advantage of.

Interests

I enjoy walking, hiking, going to the gym. Having coffee, beer and wine with friends. Learning about countries culture and lifestyle.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music depends on the moment, Authors: Brian Thacker, Robert Ludlum. Tv shows: Drunk History, Banshee, Suits, Grand Designs, Top Gear. Movies 'A Life Less Ordinary' is very much my humour, however dark humour, action, Tarantino, i like clever movies, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the dead, Lock stock, Snach, tv shows: Game of thrones, Breaking Bad, Archer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
