About Me

23 year old Australian, just spent 6 months riding my bike from Cairo to Cape Town, and working in an ethiopian hospital. I am travelling by bike through Europe for 3 months with no plan, just pedalling at the whim of where opportunities take me. I love nature and camping and random acts of bizarre spontaneity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never tried couch surfing before now, but I am eager to try a different form of bike touring. Going solo can be lonely at times, so I hope by joining couch surfing I can meet lots of interesting people and (maybe save some precious euros!)

Interests

I have lots of interests seeming to mainly revolve around my ADHD tendencies. beyond my fanatical love of bike riding, I also rock climbing, running and I have even dabbled in free diving. I love camping and really my favourite thing is a bottle of wine a camp fire and some marshmallows!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am practically musically illiterate. But I do pride myself in my bizarre and disconnected music list on my ipad which I have not updated in 3 years. my favourite movie must be Zoolander, which has inspired my desire to "learn how to read good". I just read john Krakaur- Eiger dreams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd love to share my stories of cycling from Cairo to Capetown and crossing the Sahara by bicycle!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A very bad sense of humour and hopefully a taste of adventure. I'll happily cook and clean... All I really want is a patch of ground for my tent and a warm shower! (I haven't had one of those for 2 months since I've been in Ethiopia!)

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Botswana, Chile, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Vanuatu, Viet Nam, Zambia
