About Me

Hey Hey! I'm a really enthusiastic outgoing character who likes everything from outdoors adventures to sipping scotch and discussing philosophy. I am a science presenter back home and am finishing my masters in engineering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all walks of life, and relish authentic experiences and real cultural perspectives rather than the tourist-y holidays that are so easy to fall into. I love the idea of couchsurfing and helping other people out. And if I stay at your place, the money saved will definitely be turned into a meal or an activity for us to share over some great conversation!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a massive movie buff! I can talk movies all day. Anything from sci-fi to drama to fantasy, to disney.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I jumped out of a plane it was without anyone attached to me (not tandem). It was the biggest rush I've had yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything STEM (science, tech, engineering, or math related).
Basic Music theory (piano mostly).
Amateur gardening enthusiast.
Happy to discuss and develop business/project ideas too!
I used to run whiskey tastings/history sessions, so I can spin a good story over some single malt.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and can definitely cook us some aussie food. Would love to play some music around the house. I can recite or swap some poetry if you like too.
