About Me

Currently working in the US at a summer camp
Bound for Norway🇳🇴 for 6 months.
I'm a young heart with an old soul. I live and breath the outdoors, and take any opportunity I can to get out and explore. Typically spend my summers in laid back Australia and winters working at summer camp in the US. With travel, work and study in between. I have a deep passion for nature and conservation and love spending time in the wilderness. I am a pretty rugged guy, who would be absolutely content living in a tent or a shack for the rest of my days. A bed, couch, floor or car are all perfect places for a night's sleep for me. I love meeting new people and forming strong relationships with them. I love doing crazy, spontaneous things without a plan. Hitchhiking and going wherever my destiny takes me is my preference for transport.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to make genuine friendships on my travels and believe that Couchsurfing is the way to do that. I believe that Couchsurfing fosters authentic experiences when traveling to new places, staying with locals and doing what locals do. Not really into the touristy stuff, and would much rather do things which will give me real life experience and a real cultural immersion.
