I love the outdoors, cooking and growing food, and cultural exchange.

I've been lucky enough to travel in Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey, and briefly in Switzerland and Scotland, as well as quite widely in Australia.

Working in kitchens and living in share houses I've met and shared with many people from other cultures which has greatly enriched my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to the sunshine coast and looking to meet people however transient, couch surfers and hosts alike, to make the most of this beautiful place with.

I've been aware of the couch surfing community for years and have been meaning to join for a long time.

I live in a small share house so in fairness to my housemates am not really able to accomodate couch surfers in my home.

I'm keen to meet up for muck around sports, road trips, camping, cookups and gatherings. I'm also happy to meet up individually and show travellers around the parts of the sunshine coast I love best.

In my travels I have been hosted by many generous locals and I'd like to give back to the travel community.
