I'm happiest when I'm outdoors, passionate and fascinated by nature and all it's life forms large and small. I have had the pleasure of growing up on the Australian East Coast, I have been lucky enough to have traveled to many parts of Australia growing up, this having sparked my love for travel. I assess myself as a optimistic, healthy, open minded and happy person who longs for meeting new people and experiencing new things. I enjoy helping people and making people laugh as much as i possibly can.

I enjoy sharing random facts where possible as i believe sharing knowledge and wisdom is such a great gift to share between one another. We live in a world where we are exposed to so much information, i feel a lot of people don't take much time to process much of what actually matters. I am a firm believer of slowing down, sharing quality time with good people, in today's standards for me is doing so without a device in sight and giving someone your full undivided attention.

My passion and excitement for food grows everyday. Cooking a meal and sharing it is one of my most treasured things to do and i have found it creates a deliciously healthy bond between people. Although i hope to learn more skills on the road from locals and my hosts, I would be honored to prepare a meal for my host given the opportunity.

Overall i wish to utilize this brilliant society to meet other travelers on my adventures and strive to one day have a sustainable living situation to host all the extravagant people i will meet on my expeditions! No matter your age or life experience, there is always something to learn from one another. I am all for sharing places i have been and plan to go with my fellow traveler. I feel i a have some incredible places to share throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Music, Movies, and Books

Australian music via Triple J + international artists. Music for me a lot of the time is picking the right groove for the apparent mood and atmosphere. That makes all the difference in my opinion.

I enjoy comedies, action films, Japanese Anime, Australian and New Zealand films, Harry Potter, Star Wars and many more. I could watch plenty of documentaries on nature, animals, rock climbing, war, food and space.

I am currently hooked on adventure travel books, in particularly overland expeditions. where's wally, Patricia Cornwell, nat Geo mags.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more then Happy to teach English/Australian, in return I wish to only learn local/foreign language to aid my communication skills. I'm all for sharing everything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to offer to teach 'Australian' English to whoever wishes to learn. Any teaching in general I enjoy, I'm a qualified car mechanic in Australia- I am happy to answer any mechanical questions also pass on knowledge if you aren't very confident in that area.

I love learning as much as i do teaching. Any local language, culture, history, travel tips and new food related knowledge would be much appreciated.

i would be happy to share my favorite places to go throughout Australia, especially the NSW East Coast, many location's all over New Zealand and other parts of the world.

I love cooking, preferably vegetarian or with fish. More then happy to cook with my host or cook them dinner.
