Hi! I’m Ash, an Adelaide-based content creator, photographer, and avid plant-based cook. Travel, sustainability, and wellness are my jam. When I'm not exploring hidden gems (whether it's a coastal sunrise, climbing a mountain or a cozy corner of the city), I’m experimenting in the kitchen, whipping up plant based meals or sharing everyday life through storytelling and photos. I love making meaningful connections with fellow travellers whether it's through swapping recipes, discovering local hangouts, or capturing memories together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best part of travel isn’t just the places you see - it’s the people you meet along the way. I’m here to connect with locals and travellers, share stories over a meal, and swap tips on hidden gems you won’t find online. Whether it’s cooking a plant-based dinner together, exploring a new neighbourhood, or just enjoying a good laugh, couchsurfing feels like the perfect way to make the world feel a little smaller and friendlier. I've had amazing experiences one in Vienna, Graz and England. I look forward to having many more.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music: Anything with a good beat or feel-good energy - think indie folk, soulful acoustic, a bit of chill house, and whatever’s perfect for road trips. Always down for live gigs, festivals and discovering local artists.

🎬 Movies: Travel documentaries, heartwarming comedies, feel-good dramas, and lots of action/war movies. Bonus points if there’s beautiful cinematography or it inspires my next adventure.

📚 Books: Cookbooks, romance fiction, travel writing, and anything that blends storytelling with personal growth. Big fan of books that leave me inspired to try something new or see the world differently.
