Hey! I have been traveling for 4 years in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. It has been a fantastic experience and I have made many friends along the way but for some reason I never gave couch surfing a try until now. I normally stay with friends and as they will all attest, I make sure I cook and clean to pay for my stay. I travel with at least 10 spices at all times so I can make some pretty tasty meals. I have been on a sailboat in the Bahamas for the past 2 months and now I have unexpectedly ended up in the US for a few weeks before I return to Australia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

we are all global citizens! Love meeting like minded people!

Interests

I love to be outside and go hiking, camping, fishing, and rock climbing. I just finished hiking a few national parks in Norway and have some ridiculous stories including getting lost and stuck on th mountain overnight with no shelter and having to burn my books to keep warm ! of course a good night out at the bar is always fun as well! I also love cooking which is my main form of currency when staying with friends. Any spontaneous adventures, festivals, or adrenaline activities are right up my alley as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music to me is dictated by the scene. If we are sitting on the beach, reggae is the way. If we are at a festival, lets listen to some EDM. If I'm looking for some lyrical content, underground hip hop is my favorite. Just driving and having a good time, then its classic rock, a little country, and lots of old school hip hop.
The Alchemist, Siddhartha, To the Last Man, The Son, The Art of Happiness are some of the most recent books I have read. They are all great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taken shots of snake blood and rice whiskey with locals in deep in the jungles of Vietnam.
I have delivered potatoes to a holy man named Aloo Baba in the desert outside of Pushkar.
I have scuba dived the great barrier reef.
I have dodged multiple 600 kilo Bulls and captured it on film
I spontaneously jumped on a massive sailboat with no cranks and only hand riggin and helped sail it from Helsinki to Turku......I had never heard of Turku until I was on the boat.
Thats just a few things of the top of my head. many more stories to share if you are interested
In general I'm a bungy jumping, scuba diving, cliff jumping, rock climbing enthusiast who loves all festivals from Octoberfest to Burning man.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook real well if you are interested in learning that. I also am learning Swedish and would love to learn more if you would like to help me learn more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook and I clean. After i leave you will have eaten well and your apartment will be clean.
