About Me

31 year-old from the beautiful Sydney Australia. I've been living in New York for the last 8 years!

I'm currently building a social entrepreneurship startup that helps people to donate more deliberately to charity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the next 12 months, I'm traveling the world solo. The best way to explore and really get a feel for a place is to get to know locals, share stories and go out for a drink or two.

My plan is to live in different cities for ~2 months each and to learn a new skill in each one.

So far, it's been photography in Berlin, and French in Montreal. Help me decide what and where is next!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On the first day of a 10-day camping/game-drive trip through the Serengeti in Africa, we saw a giraffe give birth. It was an incredible beginning of an unforgettable journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of traveling to every continent (including Antarctica)!! Ask me for travel recommendations and I'll happily share stories about bungee jumping of bridges in Africa, and jumping off boats into below-freezing waters. Mostly my stories just involve jumping off things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, so point me to the nearest farmers market and I'll thank you with a tasty meal.

Want to practice speaking French? Or spend a day of photography exploring hidden parts of the city? I'm down for an adventure.
