Overview
About Me
So I have recently resigned from my job in Australia and made the move to canada on a working holiday. At the moment I'm focusing more on the holiday aspect though and trying to see as much of Canada and meet as many of you friendly people as possible!
Landed in Calgary on 21 January, and planning on staying around here for a couple of months and hopefully buy a bus to fit it out as an RV to road trip across the country!
If anyone is able to host me or would like to meet or do something, let me know! Happy to cook and clean to return any favours as well.
If you can't host I am open to joining on whatever you want to do... Going for a hike and want a buddy? Skiing/snowboarding? Going out to dinner or for drinks? going to a hockey game? need a hand with something and need some free labour (within reason!)? let me know, I'd be happy to join...
If anyone has a spare room and could do with a bit of extra cash I would also be interested in renting for a few weeks! (short term rentals arent the easiest to find)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people who enjoy travelling as much as I do. And it seems like the best way to make new friends here and experience unexpected and amazing things which you don't get by sticking to the easy, normal tourist routes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bought some 70euro inflatable kayaks off eBay and kayaked 200km down the Rhine River in Germany with 1 of my friends. Spent 4 days floating down the river past freight and cruise boats, drinking beers and pulling up each evening in a park to sleep.. The whole time carrying my backpack stuffed with all of my belongings!
