About Me

I am the only one who is me haha. Just your average Australian on an adventure of a lifetime. I am a Plasterer by trade but looking to move onto something new. I lived in England as a kid with my parents before moving back to Australia, I also have family in Germany and have seen a lot of Europe in the process.

I start this leg of my journey in Canada, snowboarding the mountains surrounding Banff for 2 months. Currently, though I have been in Mexico for the last 5ish months volunteering/working at Hostel 3B in Playa Del Carmen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find an affordable way to see the sights and meet the locals of the countries I visit as I feel like that is the best way to see the countries that I visit, through the locals eyes!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach plastering/drywalling as I am qualified back in Australia.

I am a bartender and a barista so can make you a cocktail or coffee or both if your feeling frisky!

I am currently learning Spanish, I've only just started though so beg my pardon if i do not pronounce properly. If you are willing to help my cause then by all means teach me the ways of the Jedi.

I can share many stories. I can also cook up a storm so if you may let me into the kitchen and sit back and relax!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good chat's, many laughs and lot's of stories. I can cook a mean meal for you as a thank you for letting me surf your couch
