About Me

I'm a very active person, I work full-time and enjoy a variety of sports - snowboarding, wakeboarding, skateboarding, dancing, gymnastics, yoga, crossfit and ice hockey. I grew up in Newcastle but have lived in various parts of Australia and returned home to be with family and friends and also because Newcastle is so beautiful.

Most of the travel I have done has been to North America to chase snow covered mountains (I love snowboarding). I've also spent a bit of time in Europe most of which was in Norway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I regularly hear stories from other travelers that I met while abroad who have traveled around Australia but missed out on some great sights and experiences because they only visited the well known tourist destinations. I'd like to help fellow travelers find those less known areas and make sure that they have a great time. I'm also very passionate about my hometown of Newcastle and want to show it off to as many people as I can.
I also enjoy the company of others and want to learn about you, your travels and your home country.
