CURRENT MISSION

exploring Europe!

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small city called Darwin which is in the Northern Territory of Australia, but have spent most of my life in Melbourne, Victoria. After school, I studied Architecture and Construction Management, I finished university in late 2008 and then worked until February 2011. Since February ive been slowly making my way around europe, and enjoying every moment.

I love my friends, im easy going, enjoy a laugh, like being active and like meeting new people. I like to party, and i also like to chill. For some reason I am good at unintentionally getting fines and usually stupid ones like parking fines, buying a train ticket but forgetting to validate it, forgetting to pay phone bills, crossing the street ´illegally´ etc etc!

PHILOSOPHY

Never forget your manners & Karma...two good ones to remember.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im travelling Europe, so unfortunately I cant offer a couch to others in the near future. But I love to share information on places that i have been or on destinations i know well like Australia, and I am always keen for a coffee, wine or beer...I love them all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Im quite new to CS, but so far my experience has been really positive. So far i have used CS to message people and get some tips on their towns and cities, and all responses have been great, local knowledge is the best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling through central Australia from North to South in a 4WD was an amazing trip and gave me a great appreciation for Australia´s beauty.

Swimming with dolphins at my local beach with my best friend was as close to nature as i will ever get...Patying in Thailand and Bali with family and friends was so much fun.

Meeting and laughing with new friends in Europe in 2011 has been fantastic.
