Hello! I'm Bryn. I'm currently 24 and living in the Yarra Valley, just a 1hr drive east of Melbourne.
I've grown up here with my family and have loved being in the fresh country air and having a fantastic Mountainous environment to explore.
I worked in hospitality for about 6 years including Domaine Chandon winery for 3 years. The Yarra Valley is a fantastic wine region and also has some craft beer and microbreweries as well as a Gin distillery now!
I've always loved the outdoors and go camping/hiking as often as possible. Wilson's Promontory NP (southern Victoria) is an absolute favorite of mine!
These days I work as Pilot. I started off flying skydiving in Melbourne and have since worked a few jobs flying all over Australia. I'm now working back in Melbourne full time flying freight and passengers to Tasmania. I couldn't imagine doing any other job!
I hope that in the next few years ill be able to live in Vancouver BC for some time and fly sea planes out of the harbor. Dream big right!?
I'm a very relaxed person, and love the simple pleasures in life (food, music, the wilderness, good friendships).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet other great people both in Australia and all over the world. I love sharing my local knowledge with others and hope to receive the same experiences whilst travelling.

Algo increíble que he hecho

One of the most experiences of my life was whilst I was on a bus in the remote Andes mountains in Peru. This particular bus trip was 24hrs long and we were the only tourists taking the journey. Whilst everyone slept I stayed awake (probably something to do with the uncomfortable seats, noise and shaking of the bus as we drove over rocky road). The lack of comfort and length of the journey were far outweighed though in the morning as we climbed up and over a mountain pass that overlooked a huge expanse of the Andes. Snow capped mountains, rivers and tiny villages dominated the landscape all made more exhilarating by the precarious situation we were in on a narrow winding road with 1000m drops on either side of us. I had a true feeling of being very remote in a place not many people get to see and it was a highlight of my trip.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Anyone that would like to visit the Yarra Valley would be welcome. I have lived my whole life here and have great knowledge of the whole area. Anything from visiting wineries to hiking or bike riding the lesser know trails. I've worked in wineries here and I love everything outdoors, so if you want to share some of these experiences then come and stay!
