About Me

I've travelled across 30 something countries in my 34 years, worked as a divemaster in the Caribbean and a DJ in the city, hiked the Himalayas and the Andes for days, travelled independently overland throughout the Americas and South East Asia.

Now I run a wine tour business in Adelaide, Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I'm travelling through US wine country and I want to meet cool people along the way, as opposed to staying in hotels and not meeting anyone.

I have no doubts that if you host me there will be new wine to enjoy each day.

I'm heading from Portland OR kind of south, and then West to the corner of the state and into WA.

I have friends I plan to visit in Bend, OR and am also hoping to return home to Burning Man - if I can wrangle a last minute ticket!
