Why im on couchsurfing:
As I travel I want to be able to meet new people. I think its amazing to be able to meet someone who comes from a completely different background and life experience to yours, and to learn from each other. This is part of the reason why I love to travel - I love to have meaningful chats with people no matter who they are. I love making new friends from all around the world and i want to hear peoples stories.

As someone who often thinks 'why' and ponders deeply on many things, I like to share and discuss beyond surface level topics. Although I'm always down to just chill, relax and have a good time too 😎

About me:
I was born in Australia and raised there. I feel the happiest whenever I go travelling and I like doing outdoor adventure things like hiking, camping, mountain climbing, and rock climbing. I've come to realise and believe that nature heals - which is why a main reason that I travel is for nature. So I travel for two main reasons: nature, and to meet new people.

A big part of my life is creativity - I love animation, film and music; It's very important that I create things in order to self express. It's the best way I know how to communicate emotions, beliefs and lessons I've learnt throughout life. Nature has and always will have a big impact on what I create.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled by myself for 2 months in Nepal and hiking in the mountains there. Did the Langtang trek and the poon hill trek.
When I was 15, I did a high school exchange to Japan, and lived south of Tokyo for 5 months. I stayed with an awesome host family during my time there and made many new friends, and it was one of the happiest moments in my life.
Solo road tripped across the U.S across California, Utah and Arizona in 2 weeks! What beautiful nature the U.S has...
