About Me

Travelling the world one step at a time! The people, the food, the culture is what it's about!

Being Australian, I am very easy going and laid back. I enjoy other peoples company but also enjoy doing things on my own. I'll happily explore a new city on my own or go for a beer (or seven) with a new friend. Gin & tonic is my weakness and I'm not opposed to tequila shots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be immersed in the culture and hear stories of history and tradition. I want to drink the local drinks, eat the traditional foods and party like the locals!

Interests

Snorkelling, scuba diving and sharks. Gym, rock climbing and anything outdoors. History, markets, mountains, castles, pubs, clubs, FOOD, reading, movies, sports, adrenaline. Adventures! I'll try anything and everything once.

Music, Movies, and Books

Every genre of music has a time and place. From 80's and 90's classics to dance, electronic, RnB, hip hop, power ballads and jazz. Anything I can sing to!

Comedy and sci-fi movies are the top two categories. Any Marvel movie, most and all kick-butt action and any movie that makes me laugh. I'm also a sucker for romcom's.

Fiction novels of impossible feats!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving with sharks. Frequently.

Fitting 5 cheeseburgers in my mouth.

Stunt diving in Angelina Jolie's movie: Unbroken.
