About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, embrace diversity and always learn.

ABOUT ME

I'm an Australian living and working in Cambodia in Southeast Asia. I travel a lot for my work and then a lot in my spare time. That has taken me to lots of corners of the planet and I consider myself very lucky for that.

I grew up in Sydney, Australia and a small town a few hours west but have been living in Asia since 2013.

I like to measure myself by my ability to positively contribute to the world, and traveling is a great way to do that.

I haven't used Couchsurfing for years! But sometimes there are good times to embrace it again.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason, so take every opportunity you can, it could lead anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have previously hosted travellers in Sydney, but it's been a few years and I've been moving around lots in recent years.

But that was a great experience showing amazing people around my amazing city.

Haven't done too much Couch Surfing of my own recently, but did as much as I could when in the Middle East a few years ago.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couch surfing experience in Seattle, and this further encouraged me to do it more. Met some great people from Europe in Sydney, as well as in the Middle East

Interests

My number one passion is travelling and checking out as many new places as I can. I take photos for my work and love to do that for fun too.
Very interested in discussions anything international related, whether it be social, political or cultural.
