About Me

Hi there,
I'm a paramedic/nursing student in Brisbane Australia. I grew up in Coolum Beach on the beautiful Sunshine Coast about 2 hours from Brisbane.

I grew a love for travelling when I was young and my parents took the family travelling through Europe. Since then, I've travelled through 25 countries and have learnt more in my travels than I would have ever imagined.

My last trip was a road trip through the USA in 2015-2016. I flew to LA, bought a minivan and travelled 25,000 miles from west coast to east coast and back again. I slept in the van for 4 months, and stayed in cities the other two months. I can't imagine a trip ever being better!!

I'm also an accomplished rock climber, and have travelled to many countries pursuing my love for it. I love getting outdoors, but also have a love for different cultures, cities, art, music and food. I guess I like a real spread of different things and am always interested in trying new things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel it will be the best way to meet some locals on my travel and share experiences and hopefully return he favour in the future. As of right now I do not have a place to host, but as soon as I do I will be returning any karma that has come my way!
