About Me

Just graduated from a Bachelor of Marketing & Communication. I'm spending August - Mid November travelling Europe! Then spending a month in Sri Lanka!

I live & work on Hamilton Island near the Great Barrier Reef and I have possibly the greatest job ever. I love surfing, snowboarding, boating, music and doing new things. I'm very active I love basically any form of sport / physical activity. I love traveling, partying, hanging out with friends and meeting new people!

"... he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then, he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
-The Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try and host people when I am home and available !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Margaret River with my sister Chloe in January last year and stayed with the nicest family, amazing cooks, amazing people, really fun experience!
Since then I have couchsurfed 2x in California and I really could have not asked for much more, I'm so lucky to have had the experiences I did through this website.
I have also hosted a bunch of cool people I hope to see again one day!
