About Me

I'm a 24 year old, always up for new adventures whether they get me into trouble or not!

I've recently started full time work as an engineer in a small town in regional south Australia after returning from back packing adventures through Eastern Europe. I've got heaps of stories to share and am really outgoing and love meeting new friends.

I love pretty much all outdoor activities from hiking to skiing to caving. I also love the night life; sharing a couple of drinks and enjoying nice food and heading out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to to meet new people and learn more about European countries and culture from the locals rather than just have a tourists perspective.

Interests

I'm a really active person and love to get out and do and see things. At home I play a lot of sport including basketball, volleyball and training to be a surf life saver over the summer at the beach. I also love hiking, camping and enjoy being outdoors. And I play the piano when I have extra free time and enjoy hosting games nights and dinner parties with friends.

I love all kinds of food and cooking healthy foods as well as baking yummy treats for a balanced diet ;p.

I love doing things that put me out of my comfort zone like paragliding or cliff even though I'm afraid of heights, or things that challenge my ideas and perceptions like going to squat location and participating in workshops.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm can't decide so here's two;

- Pretty scared of heights but mustered up the courage to run off the fourth highest mountain in Slovenia (2000+ metres tall) to then fly in the air paragliding !

- Travelled to Bhutan inbetween Nepal and China and climbed to Tigre's Nest monastery.
