Wanderer, digital nomad, and hopeless travel addict. :-)

I'm Martina, I've just turned thirty, and I love meeting other travellers. I'm a digital nomad, meaning I live out of a bag and work from my laptop, which gives me a lot of freedom to explore.

I used to live in Melbourne where I loved hosting couch surfers. It was such a great way to meet new people and I loved playing tour guide. I've surfed myself a few times, both on the website and with people I met on my travels, and the connections you can get are amazing.

I'm in SE Asia right now, and heading back to Australia in early December. I'll be at my mum and dad's in the bush over Christmas, and if any couch surfers want to see what the real bush is like, you're very welcome to come hang out for a few days! Yes, we have kangaroos. Lots of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see another side of the places I'm going, to meet super cool people all over the world, and to find awesome new people to hang out with.

Music, Movies, and Books

More or less anything? Haha. I love a good storyline and a clever comedy. I prefer indie music and some top 40 stuff can be fun too. I read all sorts of things, fiction and non-fiction - though I tend to start way more books than I finish!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of my travel highlights...
Climbing to the top of Mt Kinabalu.
Diving with 15 or so 8m bull sharks in Fiji.

Chilling on a windswept beach in early spring in Uruguay.
Cycling at the Atacama Desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about the world, new ideas and thoughts. I want to talk to people and find out new things, and tell them awesome things I already know! I'm a bit of a sponge for new info...

What I Can Share with Hosts

My infectious personality and my love of new people, new experiences, and new food! And I'm happy to cook if you'd like. :-)
