About Me

Hello there, Couchsurfers!
I'm Elliott and the girl in the pictures is Stefania, my girlfriend. We are currently on a year long adventure; visiting a few countries that we wanted to explore. So far we have had a fantastic time hopping up the east coast of China and van-dwelling the breathtaking New Zealand. Up next is Vanuatu, Melbourne and India.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked round Colorado over spring break. A spur of the moment idea after original plans were ditched a few days before departure. A few mates of mine were driving to AZ, so I got a ride to Fort Morgan and thumbed my way round down to Colorado Springs, stopping at Fort Collins where I hiked Horsetooth Mt. and stayed with a fellow CS. Estes Park, where I went hiking in the Rockies with a fella who offered me a place for the night. Boulder, where I had some amazing cherry chocolate beer. Denver, wandering around the city and CO Springs where my mates came back up from AZ then drive home in a snowstorm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could tune up your golf swing if you'd like.
Learn anything - every kind of skill or talent comes in handy every now and again.
Photography - share shots.
Let's go exploring.
