About Me

I'm a Digital Freelancer specialising in Web Design, IT Support and Blockchain Technology. In recent years I've travelled 12 months through Europe in my stealth campervan, lived on campus as an exchange student in San Diego, volunteered as a media intern in the Philippines and worked in one of the biggest and best cannabis dispensaries in Vancouver.

For now, I'm living in Nelson, soaking up the nature vibes and being as active as possible!

I love meeting new people and taking every opportunity I get to travel.

Some other things I really enjoy are camping, hiking, festivals, music, food, hammocks, volunteering, stand-up comedy, cryptocurrency and technology.

I love the idea of Couchsurfing, I enjoy making friends from all over the world and I give back to the community by hosting whenever it is possible for me to do so!

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

― John Lennon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting and like-minded people while also being able to help backpackers to travel more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in the Tacloban City, Philippines which you can read about here http://doomiswanderlust.webflow.io/

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about new things, I am a very curious person and I do not judge. There is so much to learn in this world and if you have a particular skill or passion I will likely take interest. I'm not sure I am a great teacher but if you are willing to learn, I'm willing to try!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have plenty of travel stories and knowledge of incredible places to visit that can help you plan your own trip. I also have friends back home in Australia who may be happy to host some couchsurfers, so you may have found a place to crash even if I'm not in Australia myself at the time.
