I'm a very friendly, widely traveled, and open minded Australian guy, who works as a consultant in London but loves meet people from around the world and sharing experiences.

Some of my favorite experiences have been hiking for a week in Iceland, diving in the Red Sea, bike touring in Switzerland, doing an ultra marathon through the desert in Morocco, island hopping in the Mediterranean, skiing Japan, and enjoying lots of amazing food in SE Asia. I am a big foodie, and love to experience to best of local foods!

I'm social but not a big party animal, I am a very lite drinker and don't smoke. I have a strong European nature rather than your average Australian

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend suggested I try it after some amazing experiences she had couch surfing in Latin America, and I've been lucky to meet some great people since then - I've stayed with a musician in Chicago, a politician in Belgium, and even hosted in London a couple times! The genuine nature of Couchsurfers I've met is something I really enjoy sharing

Interests

I'm big into adventure sports - hiking, ultra running, skiing, diving, I've even recently taken up skydiving and am soon to receive my sky diver's license :) Also enjoy photography, conservation and am a big animal lover. Let's not forget food and coffee (an Australian at heart after all)!
