About Me

Hippie, hobo, wanderer, adventurer, planeteer, explorer, rainbow child, mermaid.

I'm currently living in Byron Bay, spending all my free time in on or under the ocean. I'm trying to figure out the best way to help this amazing planet we're so lucky to live on. And also take the time to appreciate it. Get salty, jump in waterfalls, sail boundless oceans, befriend sharks and make lots of new friends along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
