What can i say - I'm an unabashed gypsy. Hence the last 6 years creating and building my businesses has been challenging at times. Before that I was in Tanzania helping build community Permaculture gardens and consuming life in huge wholesome bites. i'm a very passionate guy that makes the best out of every situation who seems to prefer leaving the earth with scars and stories to baby smooth skin and safety. And yes i do have a motorbike! I surf. Surf ski. Hike. Ride. Am very passionate about cooking music and of course gardening. Playing guitar. Adventure. Reading. Staying fit. Close friends. The amazing diversity of the world. A good red wine. I have quite a dry sense of humor. Love intelligent conversation but can happily sit down to a evening of marshmallow movie time..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before owning my business i traveled. A lot. For a very long time. And i've never forgotten just how crazy cool it is to be in a strange country and be taken in by strangers and become family. I've travelled and worked around the world for over 8 years. I owe our global family so so much for their love and overwhelming generosity over that time. it's time to pay some of that back. I think this is a great place to do that...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a gorgeous little coastal town in the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Imagine Byron Bay as a quiet charming place that doesn't make you want to run screaming from it's clutches after 24 hours. Fantastic bush walks. Truly secluded pristine beaches. Great fishing. Good surfing. Great food and coffee. I'm so in love with this town. I think you will be too. Currently renovating so accommodation is a little 'rustic' but you won't care when you get here. Space for campers if you wish. I have swags for those that wish to have experience Oz style camping at it's finest
