Current mission: Bits of Europe I haven't seen yet. Then maybe Russia or the Americas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had interesting and generally positive couchsurfing experiences in the US, Cambodia, Spain, Switzerland, and France, and hosted folks from all over the place. It's a fantastic way to get around and get under the skin of a city or a country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helicopter filming over the Burrup Peninsula in north-western Australia, as part of a campaign to gain World Heritage listing for this incredible natural wonder and Indigenous cultural site.

40 minutes of seat-of-the-pants aerial photography with zero notice and a shitty harness. The pilot showed me his favorite surf break at 40ft ASL.

It was in my home state, I was at work, and it was the best!
