About Me

I'm a young international traveller originally from the UK, looking to explore the big wide world. I'm fairly chilled in outlook and I'm more interested in a chat around a fire or a beer with a deck of cards to hand, than going out on the town until all hours. Although that's still fun under the right circumstances. I come from a mixed European family and studied in the UK, working here and there before deciding to become a nomad for the foreseeable future. I like to think I'm interesting, at least, and I love meeting new people to share stories and wisdom with; to properly integrate myself into the society and culture in which I place myself. You may also find that I can be a useful person to have around. Can't wait to explore Aus!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a budget backpacker, a few free nights sleep here and there is never something to be sniffed at. Plus I loved to host people myself, when I had a home, so I think its an equally good way for me to make some new acquaintances on my travels.

Interests

I'm eclectic to say the least, although I'm still happy to indulge in hobbies of habit when I can. That said, I'm generally more interested in trying something new and find the best way to discover new and exciting activities is through befriending new interesting people, especially those with local knowledge. I'm a chill seeker and adrenaline junkie in equal measure depending on the occasion.

Music, Movies, and Books

Many and varied!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled the Garden Route in South Africa and Climbed Kilimanjaro, in the name of charity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Free cleaning, washing, laundry and gardening services. Self proclaimed travel expertise and advice. Useless information about things you probably never cared about but may find interesting anyway. Poorly constructed joke material and without doubt something new to add to your music and film collection. Oh, and I used to be a lifeguard, if that helps!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Scotland, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-Leste (East Timor), United States, Viet Nam, Wales
