About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and learn about all the most obscure corners of the globa... and make it back in one piece! - Actually that was my goal when I joined but it's currently on hold!

ABOUT ME

After finishing uni I went backpacking for a year. While on a boat somewhere in Costa Rica, I met 2 girls who told me they were "couch surfing". I signed up the same day.

Unfortunately that's a distant memory now. I've been back in Sydney for 3 years. I work full time as a lawyer and travel is left to my dreams!

Interests

Travel and all the amazing people and experience that make up a good trip.

I'm passionate about human rights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got caught in a flood in Bangladesh while out in a little village. I ended up on a dug out canoe, paddling with a local guy over a flooded rice paddy trying to find dry land... It was terrifying!
