ABOUT ME

Embarking this Christmas on a 4,400 mile solo tour from Cairns down to Brisbane and west to Perth, fundraising and filming along the way.

I've been bike touring every year for the past three, traveling 6,500 miles across the US, around the southeastern states, and through Spain and France. I love adventure, the exhilarating pull of the open road, not knowing where I'll sleep, what I'll eat or who I'll meet along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're not happy with your life, change it. We're all responsible for our own circumstances, and every day spent living and breathing has richness that shouldn't be wasted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Experience in farming, somewhat handy, and always up for a drink and a good time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with people all over the US, Spain and France, usually strangers but a handful through this website and warmshowers.org.

Interests

I love art, film and literature. I draw and write a little, but I'm pretty lazy about it. Learning the guitar, very much a beginner. Anything outdoors, obviously. I live for new experiences, exchanging stories and ideas with other weird people and generally making a fool of myself.
