About Me

Hello, I have been a full time traveller for the past 16 months. I am now heading back home to get sorted and spend time with my family who I have not seen for years. But I want to go out with a bang and that is when I thought of Mardi Gras of New Orleans.

I love seeing new cities, meeting interesting people, and exploring nature.

I know this new love of travelling is going to stick with me. I want to find a profession that can afford 3 months of travel a year.

I hope to have a house and be able to host travellers when I'm working.

I love the lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people. It is a big wonderful world out there. So many people to meet. This is the place to meet people around the world.

I'm down to host when I have a stable place. But if you like my profile and like to meet up for a coffee or a beer hit me up.
