ABOUT ME

I'm a health reporter for Australian news media, but I sneak in travel and adventure writing and photography to help sustain my semi nomadic ways. I love discovering people's stories. I also love mountain biking, trail running, skiing, art in all its many forms, live music, really good food, board games, and any form of dialogue or entertainment that keeps me engaged, challenged and/or learning.

PHILOSOPHY

Community should supersede self.
Apathy disturbs me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like many travellers I've both surfed and hosted over the years, just never in any formalised way. But have heard many great things about this site, so I guess now's as good a time to try as any.
