About Me

I grew up on the south-east coast of Australia, now living in Melbourne and soon to be visiting Brazil. I'm a boy from the bush at heart. I love spending time in nature, working on creative art projects, dancing, conversation, poetry, fashion, and enjoying the finer things. I've always found landscapes powerful, and am dedicated to protecting nature and work as a community campaigner advocating for action on climate change.

I love to meet people who feel inspired, who work to challenge assumptions, and pursue what they feel is important. And sometimes you find these people in the least likely places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted in Melbourne and Canberra before, and surfed in the US and Europe -- looking back I've met some really wonderful and inspiring people, many of whom I happily now call friends.

I'm visiting Brazil this May and hoping to connect with some amazing hosts :)
