About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling the world, not sure how long my journey will be or if it will truly have an end. Along the way I want to emerce myself in cultures, religions, foods, world views, people and the experiences of life. With that being said, I want to offer that to others and that's what drove me to sign up to Couch Surfers. An opportunity to meet and be welcomed by a stranger because they want to share their portion of this life with me as well as hopefully I can share mine. Nothing more beautiful then getting to know a completely stranger, all of my family are friends and at one point were just another stranger. Life is wonderful because we socialise and strive to meet new people in an effort to understand this life for me, Cooking is my favourite social experience, nothing better than cooking for someone or having another teach you about food of their culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking - Prep, Cook and Clean.
Morning, Noon and Night
I honestly would love to share my food knowledge with you. As long as you are as honest about the taste. Or cooking alongside you if your comfortable with that. Worked as a chef for a year or two as well as a little self proclaimed.

Cleaning/Household duties/Gardening - Great with General upkeep.

Childcare - Great with children, helped raise my little sister since she was a baby and worked with children in England.

Building/Maintenence/Carpentry - Owed a small building outfit aswell as trained with carpenter and builders.

I don't mind helping out with duties I have no knowledge in. With some instructions I will be fine, always up for learning new skills.
