I have a love for exploration and discovery of new things: places, people and experiences. As someone who has traveled and often relied on the kindness of others, I believe in "paying it forward". Surfing is my outlet and being surrounded by big landscapes never fails to put things into perspective.

I'm outgoing and easy to talk to. I like to find a balance between making the most of a location and relaxing, although I probably tend to spend more time exploring than just hanging out.

A couple of beers around a fire at night is one of my favorite ways to spend an evening, surrounded by happy, laid-back people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet people and also a way to help others who are visiting to make the most of where they are.

I had my first couch surfing experience on a surf trip in Australia with some friends and we were so lucky to have such a great host, I've created my own profile to share the experience with others and also because I'd love to have more experiences as great as that one while I'm travelling.
