Hi I'm Derren and I'm an Outdoor Education Instructor. I basically take out groups of school kids and play in the Australian bush/rainforest and encourage them to learn about the environment and allow them to grow as individuals by facing challenges both mental and physical.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After making an effort to get out there and explore I've realised that adventures are made special by the people and environments you allow yourself to be exposed to.
