About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore our world, find ridiculousness, and share the adventure

ABOUT ME

I love to read books, travel, backpack, and explore. I'm always keen for a bit of banter, and I love all things ridiculous. Science, photography, and writing are my main interests, but I pretty much love to do all the outdoor things, but backpacking is my favorite. I'm not all that great at anything, but I'll give it a go.

PHILOSOPHY

2nd Degree fun is the best sort. Any pizza is a personal size pizza if you believe hard enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't actually couchsurfed much yet, but I'm excited about the opportunities to meet people. I suppose I've just not taken advantage of this awsome community in my wanderings, but I hope to change that soon!

Interests

I love photography and music and reading (mostly 'nerdy' type books). I love to travel and almost anything to do with the outdoors. I enjoy Rock climbing, camping, hiking, caving, kayaking, surfing, snowboarding and other outdoor activities like that even though i'm not that great at any of it. I love spicy food, and trying new food as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked as a Marine Biologist with Ruby Octopuses.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn new languages. I can teach all kinds of random things that no one really cares about, but I can tell you a billion things about science and Ruby Octopuses.

I love to share stories and swap travelling tips and tricks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Science, stories, and laughter. Sometimes I can cook stuff too.
