About Me

I am one third of an adventure trio, including my partner, Jackson, and our dog Zena. in 2015 we decided to leave our home and jobs in Adelaide to experience new places around Australia and the world. We took off with the car, camping gear and the bare essentials. We are most happy when we are touring and site seeing, but when funds need replenishing, we try to stop in an area we want to get to know better. Going overseas is also important for us, leaving behind our beloved dog and car to exploring other countries.

I bounce around hospitality jobs, but my true passion is building design, particularly sustainable housing.
Jackson is an electrician.
As a couple we aim to live low impact, reducing our rubbish, electricity consumption and trying to live pretty minimal.
Zena is a mixed breed, who has been know to melt the heart of a cat person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, particularly travelers, is great way to be exposed to alternative lifestyles and opinions. I love learning something new from people who choose to live against the grain of society.
For us we love to get to know places like a local, so meeting the locals is the best way to find the best spots.

Interests

Camping, exploring, outdoor activities, hiking, bike riding, dogs, arts, architecture, sustainability, and reading.
We enjoy going to see live music, a cold beer on a hot day and a glass of red on a cold day. Nothing better than a beer with a beautiful camp view after a day of exploring.
When travelling we find ourselves drawn to natural beauty over cities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

From our experience with hosting it really encourages you to get out in your home town (which we sometimes forget to do)and creates an adventure you may not have otherwise gone on. We hope by staying with people, they have as much fun showing us around as we do being shown.
We are always up for exploring, having a drink, sharing travel stories, but also understand to give spaces when it is needed. If a host host ever plans to visit Australia we would be more than happy to show them around. We have done a lot of travelling around Australia and love to share our tips and favorite spots.
We have been in share houses, have lived alone, hosted couch surfers, housesat, and own a house. This has given us the chance to experience all sides, so we have respect for peoples homes.
