About Me

Just Ran Beelin Marathon, Now just travelling Europe for a few weeks.
I'm an avid traveller who has seen many corners of the globe.
Born and bred on a farm in country Victoria in Australia, I moved to the big city Melbourne for work and never turned back.
Lived in the U.K for 3 years while travelling Europe.
Recently went through Southeast Asia, Nepal and India.
In October last year I ran the Chicago Marathon and continued road tripping around America for just over 2 months, experiences some amazing places including Texas, Arizona, Utah and Cali.
It was my first time Couchsurfing, ended up staying with around 12 hosts and found it an amazing experience. So thought I'd start hosting people in my home town and return the favour.
Love to go out to bars and breweries for a nice craft beer watch some sport or indulge in what the local food has to offer.
Am happy to show surfers some cool bars, cafe's and wicked tourist spots.
Even a game of AFL if your lucky!
And of course Melbourne's great Coffee!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the past 8 years of travelling I have always stayed in hostels, which I think is a great way to meet people and explore city's. Couch Surfing has now appealed to me as more of a way to see towns, city's and countries from a locals perspective. And to get an insight and knowledge of places from someone who is living there.

Interests

Running is a major part of my life.
My goal is to run a marathon on every Continent, having so far ran London, Boston, soon Chicago and many in Australia.
An avid sport lover, I love to get involved in any event.
Craft beer has recently popped up in my life. If I'm not trying to brew my own I'm out tasting the finest Australia and the world has to offer.
And of course travelling, once you start you just can't stop.
