About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work hard, and then get out and enjoy myself in my free time

ABOUT ME

After studying and a few years working I headed to the Rocky Mountains and made Banff my home for 6 years. I came for the scenery and loved every minute of it and the atmosphere of life in the mountains. I road tripped around the eastern provinces in 2010 but otherwise spent my time in the Rockies. I moved back to Australia in 2015 and after spending a year in the Australian ski fields I moved to our nations capital for a short while until I found employment back in the agricultural industry. I moved to Kangaroo Island in 2016 and enjoy the laid back life style of the island, their is quite a bit of tourism but below that a strong agricultural focus and great community.
I enjoy catching up with friends, seeing amazing scenery, hiking, skiing, kayaking and generally enjoying life. I love the diversity of people that I encounter travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in living life as best as you can and enjoying it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Movies - lots, must admit I like hopeless rom coms, enjoy the Marvel movies, Star Wars, Star Trek and similar.
Books- enjoy reading fantasy, Lord of the Rings, game of thrones (read them before the show) David Eddings, Ian Irvine. Also starting to like a bit more variety, historical related books, true stories, fiction
