I have taken 12 months off work to see the world. I am usually working in the Australian Public Service and study part time. Over the next 12 months I will be backpacking across UK, Europe, Morocco, Central America, South America and wherever the adventure may take me.

I grew up on a farm in a small country town in southern NSW, Australia. I have also travelled Australia, so I can give you heaps of tips about our country! I look forward to meeting many new people on my travels whether by sleeping on a couch or catching up for a beer :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From experience travelling around the world, the best and fondest memories I share are with complete strangers that I have met along the way. I love meeting new people and especially locals as they can share a very different perspective and experience than a typical tourist would encounter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a secluded village called Mwandi in Zambia on the Zambezi river building huts for disadvantaged people in the village.
