I'm born and bred on a farm in central North Queensland, Australia. I travelled to NZ with the family as a kid and attended boarding school until 2013. After finishing school I couldn't find a course or job that suited me. I opted into a bartending course and a plane ticket. Now I've seen more of Europe than I have of Australia and i hope to keep the ball rolling in years to come. I am now touring Europe via rail with my brother. We're trying to do and see as much as possible before I return home in October. Being 18 & 19 years old means few commitments and great flexibility. I'm taking each moment as it comes and try to keep my heart and mind open to whatever life throws my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first experience with couchsurfing is the reason I am still here...
I had just arrived in Manchester and it was a freezing Saturday night. I was looking for hostels but everything was full. Knowing that last minute requests are nearly useless I didn't really give it thought until I had exhausted all other options. So I sent out a few hasty and desperate requests. Some hours went by and I was starting to think about a nice bench to sleep on when I was saved by a wonderful girl. I ended up surfing for a week and picking up a job in Manchester. Nothing but love for this app!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to be inspired by powerful ideas or anything that makes me think. I'll read, watch and listen to anything and anyone that can help expand my awareness and knowledge.

Music - My taste in music is changing as often as the wind

TV - The Wire, Mr Robot, Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders, Gilbert Grape (fantastic movie), needs work...

Reading - Eckhart Tolle, Anthony Keidis, Alan Watts, Henry David Thoreau, slowly building...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attending a bartending school in Barcelona was one of the best months of my life. This has opened the door of Europe for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope my achievements in life will be these:

That I will have fought for what is right and fair
That I will have risked for what has mattered
That I will have given help to those in need
And that I will have left the earth a better place for what I have done and who I have been

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want everyone to enjoy the moment. The past and future are smoke and mirrors, distractions from what's happening right now. I can share simplicity and laughter
