Hey Peoples!! I left my life behind in June under the philosophy of, Well why not. I am living in a sprinter van that I have built into a camper van, and am now on a 2-year road trip all the way down to the bottom of South America. I was a nurse back home in Australia using my annual leave to try and explore the world, seen about 40 countries, but it was just never enough. Currently in cabo, Hoping to cross from La Paz into mainland mexico around the 17th. I like hiking, taking photos, good friends, storytelling and appreciate good banter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Swapping a backpack and hostels for a van has been an incredible change of pace and a new found freedom.

From friends and family who will be joining me on different legs of the trip to randoms, strangers and you? If you can chip in for diesel, food, and be willing to navigate, the passenger seat and the open road is yours.

All not as bad, and some much worse than they sound.
