Currently solo travelling through South America (after coming from free diving in Egypt, Jordan and surfing Ghana for the last 4 months) and keen to meet some legends through CouchSurfing! I’m from Sydney, Australia and have just completed my PhD in Neuroscience so am free to travel the world again!!

I absolutely love doing activities! I am a keen ⛷🏂🥾🤿🧗‍♂️🏄‍♂️🧘‍♂️🛹🚴‍♂️ so always up to get active!

I am pretty extroverted so always up for a good chat with strangers, but very comfortable to do my own thing if others are needing space. I try to be courteous and kind in everything I do but can be a bit mischievous in the name of fun 🤩.

I have travelled a fair bit despite being locked down with study for the last 4 years. I have also worked as a humanitarian engineering lecturer taking students to Samoa, New Caledonia and India to work on humanitarian projects that benefit the local populations.

In short: I am an outgoing person that is very much up to meet some lovely and exciting people on this beautiful planet - so please send me a message and come hang 🤙

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarding through the French Alps has to be up there!

Teach, Learn, Share

Surfing 🏄‍♂️ Worked as a surf instructor for 2 years so can surely get you up and frothing!

Science 🧬 I am a bit of a science nerd so always love hearing about people interests in all things Science/Engineering/Stem. Can definitely talk your ear off about neuroscience 🙃

French 🇫🇷 I am learning French - I suck but am trying to get better so would love to have a talk with those patient enough.

Snowsports ❄️ I have been fortunate enough to be on snow since I was 3yo so always keen to teach people the ropes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always happy to cook together and can be a strong sous chef!!

Always keen to chill and share travel stories and normally have a fair few books to share as I go through a fair few.

Will always be the excited traveller to be shown around anyone’s local!

I am a keen photographer so out and about I’m always trying to get the best angles of my mates (this could be you!)
