About Me

I’m currently travelling around the world for just shy of two years. I have spent 16 months travelling around Africa, Central Asia, The Middle East and South America. Over this time I have found Couchsurfing to be the most memorable and authentic way of making connections.

I'll let you discover for yourself, my fiancé (Alex) and I have a natural passion for meeting people and always want to learn about different cultures.

I love being outdoors and spending my days in the sunshine. I am currently learning bachata, salsa and Spanish.

I have an amazing bunch of friends scattered all over the world thanks to traveling.

COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE
I am a friendly and respectful surfer. Please read all of my reviews. We make sure to give back to our hosts, as I don't see myself as a rockstar and your pad as my hotel room. I know that every person that hosts me is doing me a HUGE favour and I like to try and repay those favours when I can. I'm clean and respectful, and some would say a good cook 😉- you wouldn't regret hosting me.

PHILOSOPHY
“Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.”
― Christopher Hitchens

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them" - Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet anyone and everyone. CS will allow me to meet people from all around the world in an authentic environment. I believe it is the people who make a place, and much prefer to connect with locals than visit all of the attractions.

Would love to make some new friends along the way. When I am back in Australia I would love to show fellow CS's around.
