About Me

Just like most CSers, I love to travel and I struggle to keep still for very long. Ive traveled through most of South America and quite a good chunk of North America. Bits and pieces of Australia, Asia and Europe. In the past I loved staying in hostels, as its such a great way to meet new people. Lately Ive struggled a bit more with the lack of genuine people who tend to stay in hostels, so Ive decided to give CS a go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im newish to couch surfing, I have been to an event or two and I know and have stayed with friends who couch surf, but haven't done too much more. I do enjoy a good hostel, but now Im more interested in meeting local people, eating local food and going off the beaten track.

Interests

A bit obvious, but travel is my main interest. I love to talk to people about the different countries they've been to and hearing their stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I love to read, but unfortunately I dont have a lot of time for it at the moment. I prefer to read books that have been recommended, so if you have any recommendations, pass them on!

Music: I do like most types of music, Indie/alternative would probably be my favourite, but I cant deny that if a tune is catchy enough, I'll probably secretly like it :)
Really enjoy Australian music, and for the Aussies and anyone else who knows it, I like to listen to Triple J.

Movies: Not a massive movie fan - in the sense that I cant remember actors names, who did what film or what movie that famous line was in, but I do love going to the movies - and dont dare talk during a movie, its a pet hate of mine!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bike riding down death road in Bolivia, getting a helicopter over the grand canyon, snowboarding in Canada, bike riding down the canals in France, watching crocs jump in the Northern Territory.
