After spending 20 months travelling in 2014/15, I set off again at the start of this year. I hope to spend about the same time travelling with a focus on walking on some of the great long distance hiking paths of the world. Plus some sightseeing in between.

I grew up in country Australia, studied in Melbourne and have lived in Brisbane. I was hoping to have some kind of epiphany about what I am going to do with my life while travelling. That hasn’t happened yet :) so I am still searching.

CURRENT MISSION

See the world as it is today

ABOUT ME

Curious, little reserved to start with, good listener, love the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that there is no way to really get to know a place than to meet the people. I love to chat and tell and exchange stories. I want to have met real people from all over the world.

Interests

I love travel and read everything I can find about other people's experiences. I am interested in long distance walking/hiking.
I like cooking and trying out new recipes, exploring new places, riding my bike and playing music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading travelogues. I enjoy hearing about what adventures other people have been on, and I'm always looking for new and exciting things to add to my to do list.

I like watching crime shows, like CSI and NCIS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked along the great wall of China on Christmas Day. It was so cold I didn't get feeling back in my toes for a month!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If anyone wants to know about lightweight hiking I can talk your ear off :) And recipes for tasty hiking snacks.
I am a neat and tidy person with a lot of respect for other people’s space.
