About Me

I am adventure loving nomad currently travelling around the world 🌍 after leaving my formal working life in Australia in 2015.

I enjoy rock climbing, snow boarding, skiing, hiking, scuba diving, surfing, adventure racing, running, cycling, and pretty much any outdoor activity !

I've worked in the health and fitness industry since 2002, combining Physical Therapies such as remedial massage, acupressure, acupuncture, corrective exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy and nutritional programming.

I'm happy to help you with any training advice, treatment and workout or adventure with my hosts !!

I enjoy photography, architecture, art, music, design, movies and theatre. I also love animals 😀

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to enjoy meeting new people and exploring the cultures and local sights, things to do and get a better knowledge of the places I visit through locals that know the area. It's a more authentic way to experience a place I think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked to the top of a remote Himalayan (6125m) mountain called Stok Kangri without ever having been above 4500m!!

Invented, designed, manufactured and sold the AcuPro Fitness Mats!! The world's first acupressure massage mat for Yoga, Pilates, Rehab and Fitness. Now being sold internationally by AOK Health in Australia.

Completed a 19km " tough mudder " course for my first time, with no training, hung over and with 2 hours sleep in 2hrs 15mins 😎👍

Teach, Learn, Share

I thrive on learning about new cultures, languages and ways of life.

I really want to enjoy authentic experiences with locals from all over the world and exchange knowledge, insights and language skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good cook, I'm happy to share my recipes and skills 😄

I can give you yoga and meditation coaching, and corrective exercise for any injuries old or new.
