About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wheey! I'm on the last 6 week leg of my 2 yr trip round Australia! I'll be looking for a few places to hang out for the night while I'm travelling frm WA to Adelaide/Alice springs and onto the Barrier Reef/Cairns :)

ABOUT ME

Ello peeps! so you know my name and where I'm from, next what I've done!

I've traveled a bit of Europe through France, Barcelona (personal favorite! Guadi's architecture makes Catalonia look like a city of Sugar & Cake! I wanted to eat it!!) and also Italy I love big busy City's so Rome was Molto Fantastico & staying with a host family while I checked out the language School for a couple of weeks made it a real culture change.

Over the last 2 years after living in the Big Smoke in London for a few months I meet some mates from Down Under & decided to travel hardcore and backpack it around Australia! Loved it! Now I know Fow Sure I've caught the 'Travel Bug'! Cannot wait to start another trip, probs to South America in 2014!

Foood is a big part of my life I love all kinds and trying new cuisine while traveling especially Breads and Sweet desserts/cakes etc! I've trained and worked as a Baker in the UK and mostly worked in Hospitality especially whilst traveling. Sport is massive in my life too, Cliff jumping! (Is that a sport? It should be!) I've been snowboarding in Austria Love the Beach and water sports are awesome. Football and Athletics I'm also addicted to!

PHILOSOPHY

"Life Never Gets Any Better Than It Is Today" (Spiros Sgouros)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to Couchsurf but having mates who host really got me into the idea, I def intend to host once I settle a little again with my own place!

Keen to get involved staying with peeps all over.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just meeting peeps through other hosts but next it's time to try out surfing for myself!

Interests

Okey Doke so I mentioned sport and food are things I really crave... but Festivals and music are also stuff dreams are made of! Oktoberfest in Perth was Awesome dressing up in German Lederhosen smashing off our long socks and braces of joy! I def have to get to the real festival in Germany at some point! And watching the Stone Roses! Ian Brown, only this northern Manc can pull off Strutting across a stage shaking a Maraca! & this followed by the Prodigy!! Keith Flint and Liam Howlett starting fires in a tent till 6am...can it get any better???!
