ABOUT ME

I grew up down the south of Australia in a town named RYE on the Mornington Peninsula. I have lived in Queensland, NSW and Victoria. My current home is Byron Bay. I have 3 Brothers , 1 younger and 2 older. i grew up playing AFL football (Aussie rules) til the age of 20 , i like to surf and use my time enjoying the good things in life like eating nice cheeses and i really enjoy cooking . Beaches have always been a stone throw away from my home , i feel too confined in city's , plus i really enjoy the small town atmosphere .

PHILOSOPHY

for enjoyment and great things that can be created! "LIVE IN THE NOW"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i really enjoy meeting new friends and interesting people. When at home couch surfers that stay with me get to see what my life is about.
I've been traveling in Europe for a while and im finding that couch surfing will give you such a better feel for a town or city rather then staying in a hostel . the local know the spots to go !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done couch surfing through Norway, Denmark, hamburg, morocco, Poland, Portugal. I really love having couch surfers stay with me at home so i can live the traveling experience through the surfers .
its like hanging out with your usual friends except you know nothing about them! and genuinely i the people who are involved in couch surfing are very grateful and respectful . visited 26 states (11.5%)
