About Me

I'm currently living in Alice Springs, hoping to fund my future travels. It's a beautiful spot in the world, and hopefully I can help you discover it!

I'm heading back to Europe in September, attending a friend's wedding and kicking back in some other places too (maybe seeing a few of the sights as well).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up before I travelled through Europe with a mate in 2009, without any great expectations of what would eventuate.

When travelling, we stayed with a few people - which I thoroughly enjoyed. In Adelaide, I loved hosting people and showing them what a mighty fine place Adelaide is - hopefully I can do the same in Alice

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

not enough...

A number of people surfed in Adelaide, including...
- Thomas and Sabrina, from Germany
- Katrina, Germany
- Andrew, Sydney (Australia)
- Carina and Lukas, Germany

And when surfing I've only had good experiences. I stayed with
- Bjorn in Zurich, Switzerland,
- Daniel in Granada, Spain,
- Carlos in Lisboa, Portugal,
- Pedro in Porto, Portugal, and
- Charly in Paris, France

Interests

I enjoy new experiences, and really enjoy giving new things a go...
In Alice, I spend copious amounts of time with friends; with whom I play volleyball and rugby.
I love a good games night, where all invitees bring along a board game(s) and these are played until the wee hours of the morning. On the nights when these events don't eventuate, I often spend an evening watching movies or reading a book.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bit of this, bits of that... I'll give anything a crack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I missed Australia/Invasion Day because I was crossing the International Date Line

Teach, Learn, Share

Australians don't ride in kangaroos.
Don't expect to drive from Adelaide to any other major city just for a day trip.
Two days is not long enough in Alice Springs, or Adelaide.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a pretty ok chocolate pudding, and will probably make you look good!
