About Me

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with - Jim Rohn

My Mum's been a Yoga and Meditation teacher forever. My Dads a businessman who's work has him traveling around the world. Older sister is a Nurse in an acute spinal cord injury rehabilitation center and the little sister likes to party (is a college student). My dog, Koda, is an avid fetcher with a special emphasis on water retrievals. I am somewhere in-between all of that.

Born in Australia but lived the majority of my life in the USA , I also spent several years living in the U.K. I graduated University this past May of 2017 and currently am enjoying my on-time and run-of-the-mill existential crisis while traveling/working and learning Spanish (because if you're not learning you're not living, right?)

I'm easy going, for me the most important thing is a good sense of humour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have several friends who have all had great experiences while Couchsurfing. I didn't know what it was until this year and I thought it sounded like an awesome idea and wanted to try it out myself. As a kid my dad's work moved my family and I around a lot, I think this gave me a real appreciation for different cultures. Couch surfing seems like the perfect way to connect and make friends around the globe.
