I found out about couch surfing only since I started my travels in 2014. Ive had some awesome experiences and met wonderful people through cs 😃
I arrived back in Australia in October after living and traveling overseas for ten years. Now just loving the Aussie nature again. I’m also looking forward to host some fellow travelers and meet like minded souls...

My current mission is to continue traveling around the world,experiencing the cultures in their truest form and to interact with the locals and other like minded travellers. I don't want to simply tick off a list of countries but rather spend more time in each place and explore. My aim is to do all this whilst leaving as little Carbon footprint as possible by travelling over land and sea and supporting local small business, eating the local produce for example.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun, outgoing Australian who shares a love for anything outdoors. I love cooking and going on little adventures. I lived in zurich for 7 years before quitting my job and hitting the road, that was back in October 2014. There's no tell where this journey will take me.
I'm pretty energetic and motivated and I like to think of myself as considerate and down to earth who makes good conversation. I love a good laugh and a dose of silliness.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat all people with respect and kindness no mater race or culture.
Be thankful for what You have for it is only due to luck that You were born where you were and not somewhere else. Just because you may be more fortunate than others, does not make you any better than them, everyone has something to teach.
Enjoy life, laugh as much as possible, do what makes you happy and don't take yourself too seriously ;)
