Overview
About Me
I's a pretty easy going kind of person, who enjoys getting out and doing things, and seeing places while travelling. I enjoy experiencing places rather then just doing the tourist type things, I love to explore rather then hit main attractions.
I consider myself to be helpful considerate, and for anyone gracious enough to host me Id lover to listen and swap travel stories and experiences, help out and return the favour if possible one day. I am clean and tidy and quite, no trouble at all :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I here for a few reasons, but most of all to meet people from all over the world, I have heard great stories from friends about their wonderful experiences using couch-surfing, so why not give it a go!
I am aslo planning a trip to the USA in the very near future,and hoping to fined fun loving and interesting people to hang out with around the country, and well as find some great tips on places to visit form the locals and people who know..
Interests
My main interests are Flying and Aviation, as well as travel, outdoors, hiking, camping, photography, computers, history, science - and many other things as well, i'm sure there are many other things I haven't tried that could be my next big interest as well!
Flying is my true passion, and I have been flying gliders (sailplanes) for the past 10 years, competing in national and international competitions and have been lucky to fly for Australia at the last world gliding championships held inPoland in 2014, which was an amazing adventure.

Mostly a fan of documentaries, as well as the occasional action movie ;) - books i love history and bio, as well as good Sci-fi, and yes I've read harry potter, lord of the rings and many others.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'm going to pick two very different things that I remember well.
1) Competing in the world gliding championships in Poland in 2014 representing Australia, which involved two trips to Europe and traveling to many different countries, exploring them in the countryside, visiting small villages and meeting wonderful people in a way you never would has a tourist.
2) Hiring the overland track in Tasmania stands out as one of the best hikes I've done, with great friends and I had a great time.
