I'm a passionate Australian who loves travelling the world and meeting locals who can give me a glimpse into their culture. I'm a foodie who has a love of wine, craft beer and stimulating conversation. When I'm not travelling I work for the Federal Government and enjoy socialising with friends and family as well as enjoying all my beautiful home city of Melbourne has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After years of backpacking and staying at hostels, hotels, Airbnb and the odd home stay a friend who is a huge CS user convinced me to try it in Iran and it was a fantastic experience!

It gave me the unique opportunity to stay with locals who were interested in sharing stories. their time and genuinely treated me like their family.

Music, Movies, and Books

An eclectic mix from Future Islands to Bon Jovi, Frou Frou to Metallica, Damien Rice to Radiohead etc.

I don't read as many books as I should, perhaps a new years resolution.

Too many movies to list but like my music choices I appreciate a diverse array of films from arthouse to comedy to action to drama.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managing to fit my love of travel around a career. I'm still tossing up the idea of an extended period off at some point though...

More than happy to chat about myself further as life continues to amaze, surprise and reward me the older I get.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share stories about my country, my thoughts and obviously share my love of food, wine and beer! I'm well travelled, educated and life experienced so ask away!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My sense of humour, respect, knowledge and, if you're open to it my time as you are being so generous yourself.
