About Me

Hi there!

I'm an Australian addicted to travel, and hope to be doing a bit more of it over these next few years or so. I am really excited about pushing myself out of my comfort zone, exploring new ways of living and the epic amount of opportunities to explore this incredible planet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As cheesy as it sounds: Sonder : the realisation that each passerby has a life as vivid and complex as your own.

I love meeting new people. I think there is always something that someone else knows that we don't, and in that we also have something that we can learn from one another. Listening to people's stories and how their lives have brought them to where they are, I find so intriguing. And in those stories, I am beginning to believe that most of us are all pretty similar and that we usually want pretty similar things in our lives. Which I find extremely comforting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once started a small micro-business in Cambodia by teaching women in an impoverished village how to make their own soap to improve hygiene standards for all of their families.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to fold a paper crane or a pretty good paper plane, maybe play and/or teach some guitar (if available). Can also teach how to skateboard around the streets.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many travel stories, a good sense of humor and a cold beer.
