CURRENT MISSION

Hitchin' from Byron to Melbourne

ABOUT ME

Escaped the 9-5 reality in August and decided to cycle the length of France from Roscoff - Marseille. I set off to explore parts of Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Bali before finally arriving in Melbourne just before Christmas 2015.

I'm seeking new adventures, sights, insights and alternative perspectives. I heard Couchsurfing might be a good platform to launch from!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Like to surf when traveling to new countries to get a local/insider's view - find the best bits and truth of the place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm relatively new to this, but having surfed and hosted a couple of times, it's safe to say I'm fully won over by the concept.
