About Me

I like to do things that will make myself and the people I care about happy!

I'm a very cheery and outgoing person who loves being constantly on the move! I have a terrible sense of direction but compensate for this by having above average map reading skills :-) I love traveling and continuously plan my next adventure. I study Environmental Science to broaden my own veiws on the science and happenings of our planet. I am passionate about Rugby League and travel around Ausralia to support my team!!

My philosophy is to never let an opportunity pass me by!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf and host, but between a full time job and full time study I don't have a lot of time to show people around. I give good advice on Canberra as I have lived here my whole life and love it! I've surfed in Switzerland, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Albania, Ukraine. I'm just waiting to expand my horizons...

Couch Surfing has so far made my travelling amazing as the people I've surfed with are soooo friendly, open, crazy, fun and great people to spend time with.

Interests

I love to spend hours chatting about adventures and looking at maps to plan my next adventure. I have recently become pretty obsessed with underwater rugby and will play any chance I get.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music changes with my mood! My day can start with jazz and move through pop, gospel, soul, reggae, rock 'n' roll, hip hop and opera before lunch!! I enjoy watching flicks that are light-hearted, feel-good, like musicals and most sci-fi! I will read pretty much anything when I'm at home, but like to read biographies when I'm travelling!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't decide on just one... camping on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica, crawling inside the pyramids in Egypt, bungy jumping off the Victoria Falls bridge between Zambia and Zimbabwe, hiking up a glacier in Iceland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very happy and enthusiastic about sharing travel stories. I have a lot stories stored up in my head and a good discussion over a beer about travel is the best way to spend an evening. I can chat about my studies, tell lame jokes or just share knowledge and chill with people.
