Hello!

A bit about me, I love travelling. I spent 2016 travelling through Europe, US, Canada, Ecuador and Mexico and I was lucky enough to connect with some great people via CS

I'm easy going, open minded, love meeting new people. I love adventure travel and try plan most of my holidays around hiking, kayaking and exploring.

Definitely up for some interesting conversations over a glass of wine

My Instagram is @amyklowe for pics of my travels

I am a geologist and have worked in the Australian mining industry for 7 years. I studied Bachelor of Sciences in Applied Geology and Environmental Biology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am Couchsurfing to meet locals or other travellers. I want learn more about the culture of the places I am staying and have a more authentic experience in the cities I visit.

I have had some very positive experiences in CS and am working towards being able to host at home

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year I spent 2 weeks kayaking in South Greenland. Our trip was unsupported with a food resupply mid way thru. I had visited Greendland twice previously for work (which was also an amazing experience) but kayaking through the fjords was very special.

In Iceland with a group of friends we visited a secret hot spring. We had to climb down 10m into a fissure in the rock to reach the water, which was crystal clear and very hot. It was a once in a lifetime experience!
Also snorkelling through the rift zone (inbetween the tectonic plates) in Silfa, Iceland was one of my all time travel highlights (2015)

Volunteering with children in Ecuador, coaching gymnastics. Our spanish school also organised many tours to nearby areas, including cruising through the Galapogas Islands
