About Me

I'm from Melbourne, Australia however, I am currently living in my hometown off the south west coast of Victoria called Portland. My parents operate a horse riding school there and so depending on what's happening I can offer horse rides in the local state forest.

I'd like to think I'm very easy to get to know and to get along with and I will go out of my way to help people or to ensure that they feel accommodated. I love long nights of talking to people over some wine and food as well as camping or just sight seeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When i travel to new places I like to see them how the locals would. I want to find the local pubs that tourists overlook, I want to watch a live band that i have never heard of before and eat food i've never tasted. What better way to do that than to get advice and hang out with local people? Experiencing culture is one of the best things about travelling.

Interests

I'm interested in sustainability and the environment, by making the world a much more acceptable place to live in for everyone and reducing our overall impacts on it.

I'm also into Ultimate Frisbee, reading, writing, singing, camping and travelling. It's not uncommon for me to go on a road trip just because I want to drive somewhere. I like to climb things - rocks, trees, buildings and getting to the highest point somewhere is something that I love to do.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love books about travelling, historical fiction and fantasy. I'm terrible at picking favourites though, however I have read Black Beauty about a million times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won a silver medal at the World Under 23 Ultimate Championships for the Mixed division of Ultimate Frisbee in London, 2015.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer good conversation, my own culture an experiences, a willing attitude to try and learn new things and friendship. I'm also super clean and I love to cook so there's no worry about mess and we can always cook up a feast!
