About Me

I have always loved traveling and was lucky enough to be taken abroad on family trips from a young age. I have a constant urge to explore new places and experience what makes them unique, whether it be a big city or a small island..

I grew up in West Aus, where my love of the outdoors stems from! I love surfing, diving, hiking and photographing these passions of mine. Currently, I study film in Perth and only have a semester left to complete the course, which I'm hoping to do overseas!

I'm easy going and love meeting new people, hearing different perspectives, stories and learning about the interests of others :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Above all, to meet great people! I love being introduced to a place from a local's point of view and enjoy taking the road less traveled. Pretty happy slumming it whilst backpacking, especially if it means my adventure will last longer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My dad and I share the same birthday and on my 19th (his 51st) we climbed Mount Rinjanni, an active volcano on Lombok (Indonesia).. One of the most memorable birthday's I've had to date! Camping at the first summit point, we watched the sunset over the islands below and the sunrise the next morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing stories and creating more with other couch surfers!

Have always wanted to learn another language but I'm not sure a couch surfing stay will be long enough, but if you feel like sharing some phrases of your language with me, I won't stop you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very social person and am always up for hanging out, going out for a drink, or exploring the outdoors..

I love cooking and would be more than happy to cook for you as a token of my appreciation, but also because I think you'll find it delish :)

I would also love to document an individual's perspective of their own hometown/city through photo's/filmmaking.. I love taking photo's of places but want to get better at portraits of people!
