Overview
About Me
I'm a journalist/writer heading off on an ambitious round-the-world journey with my brother Bevan (he's on Couchsurfing too).
We're starting in South Africa and working our way up the East coast of the continent before heading through the Middle East into Asia. We'll make our way over to Alaska and go overland to Chile - all without boarding an aeroplane!
I hope some of you will be able to host us and/or show us around your part of the world.
We're also looking for people with interesting stories to tell so we can write about them in our blog https://medium.com/small-adventures so if you know someone amazing, sing out!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
This thing is pretty much the best thing. I've surfed from Noumea to Madrid. I've hosted in Dunedin, Hamilton, and Syracuse (Italy).
I've met some of the best people I know through couchsurfing, and I hope I've left a lasting impression on a few of them, too.
Of course, not every couchsurfing meeting is mind-blowing. Sometimes the surfers are jetlagged, sometimes the hosts are hung over and boring. But even the bad times are good, you know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Jumped off things into bodies of water all over the world. This is more or less my favourite pastime. Waterfalls. Cliffs. Big rocks. Trees. You name it.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can show other people my way of life and hope that they love it as much as I do.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm a story teller. I can tell you some great yarns, and possibly help you tell yours to other people!
