I am from Australia - living in Boulder Colorado for the foreseeable future. I am a Science graduate with a passion for environmental science and natural resource management and work for a low carbon non profit.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a beautiful place to call home here in Colorado given the incredible national parks and outdoor scenery here. I love snowboarding, hiking, camping, reading, travelling, drinking wine/beer but most importantly meeting all kinds of folk from across the globe and learning about others lives.

PHILOSOPHY

What better way to keep exploring who you are, discovering and challenging who you are than by understanding other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So I discovered couch surfing while cycling around Vancouver Island about 5 years ago and it made my trip! incredible and truly valuable on a personal level! I am really looking forward to the day I am settled down in one place for any period of time and therefore have opportunity to share and meet people from all walks of life and give back to this giving community. Then I too can experience the joy and happiness I have had with like minded strangers all over again!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have couch surfed across Vancouver Island! I ate delicious tacos, played board games, went surfing, listened to beautiful old records, adventured through rock pools and indulged in many hilarious and intelligent conversations with all my hosts.

I have couch surfed in Breckenridge Colorado and through this website, met one of my all time favourite skiing buddies, Collin!

Interests

I am another music lover, listening and playing.
Enjoy listening to all of the 60s/70s rock and roll, as well as folk. Thought I am open to give anything a go.
