About Me

Currently travelling through Europe looking for fun and adventure!
Am a people person and always curious to meet new people and learn about their cultures!
I grew up on a farm in the countryside of Australia, studied and lived in Melbourne for 5 years and i am now living in and traveling Europe.
Relaxed and like to go with the flow.
I love to drink, cook and chill with good people.
I enjoy getting adventurous and am always keen to try new things and will try anything at least once ;)
My passions are: being active - both physically and mentally, trying new things, experiencing new cultures.
skiing, longboarding (skating), slacklining, bike riding, hiking, exploring, traveling and just generally playing around (contact juggling, fire spinning, juggling, frisbee etc)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As much as i like seeing the history of a town, meeting someone on the inside of a towns culture and lifestyle and experiencing first hand a different style of living to what i grew up with, is what i love to do when traveling.
its also super cool to reciprocate this experience when at home.

I try to avoid commercialized pop, (but that is sometimes very hard :P)

All time favourite movies: Lock, stock and two smoking barrels, The intouchables, Pulp fiction, Shawshank redemption, Hot Rod, In Bruges, fear and loathing in las vegas, Harvey Krumpet,
