I am 25 years old from Lakes Entrance, Australia.

I grew up in a small seaside village until I finished school and then headed north to study on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland!

After studying and enjoying the beach lifestyle I began 4 years employment as a Paramedic with the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS).

I was fortunate that my boss has given me 12 months off work starting last June 2016.

I volunteered as the Health Coordinator at the SAE Lao Projects for 10 months and am now travelling until I am due back at work in July 2017.

After travelling through Asia and Europe I'm now in a van with my sister exploring Western Australia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Lots of reasons!

~ To meet new people!
~ To learn about the area I'm visiting and discover the best things to do - lonely planet is weighing my bag down.
~ To have an adventure not a holiday.
~ Meet up with other travellers who share my passion for travelling the world.
~ Become part of a network of people who come together for events and enjoy each others company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been given a Tuk Tuk license by Sri Lanka ( absolute useless qualification to have !).

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn as much about the countries from the hosts as they have time to share.

Everything from the local cuisine to where to go on outdoor adventures.

I would love to share my knowledge of Australia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make an excellent pot of tea.

A comfy bed and personal tour guide when I'm back home in Australia.
