Hey surfers!

While settling down in Sydney I’m happy to host fellow travelers. Please note I’m only willing to accept 2 nights at the moment, ideally during the weekend (Fri-Sat). I don’t have a spare room but hopefully the couch will accommodate you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to discover a new place is through its actual residents. I think Couchsurfing hosts can share this local wisdom.

“The magic of travel offers a transformative experience beyond the ordinary”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Freediving with Tiger Sharks

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been Ski Instructor in New Jersey and California USA, both adult and kids. For the 2022 winter in Australia I worked at a resort called Thredbo teaching kids how to ski. Love helping others to enjoy this beautiful sport!

Last summer I’ve taught kitesurfing to close friends and family.
