About Me

I love travelling, feeling free, new experiences, meeting new people, sharing experiences, the ocean, surfing (couches and waves), my friends near and far, family, and my beautiful partner Kate.

We live in Hayborough- Approximately 1 hour (80km) from Adelaide on the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula (between Victor Harbor and Port Elliot).

We are located RIGHT ON THE BEACHFRON, diretcly in front of a surf break called Chiton Rocks.

For fun- I surf, play in the outdoors, travel in a van and see live music.

For money- I teach surf education and outdoor education, and travel around South Australia and Victoria doing this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be a part of this amazing movement and worldwide community of travellers and hosts.

We have an amazing house (with a double guest room, right on the beach!) that we would so love to share, for free, with Couchsurfers while we are here (up until August 2017).

To meet new people as hosts, as well as Couchsurfers on upcoming travels.
