About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current mission? wow, that sounds like i ought to be some sort of secret agent. nup, far from it and currently i would say my mission is to just make it to BC, Canada by January '15 from starting out in Peru early this year. hope to make it in one piece!

ABOUT ME

I come from a land down under! great place and so lucky to call it home...i live on the northern beaches of sydney and absolutely love it. for a dollar i'm a fitness trainer and outside of that i love anything outdoors and on the water...surfing, paddling, fishing, boating, climbing, hiking, biking...you get the gist!

A few random facts about me to fill some space...i come from a family of 7 children, love dogs, am a leo, love mexican food and heineken to spoil myself, matthew mcconaughey and leo di caprio favourite actors...love a good movie...what else...really easy going and as much as i love to keep active i can really enjoy some good quality chill time too!

PHILOSOPHY

do the best you can...learn and grow of yourself, others and life...try and avoid taking anything for granted...nor take life too seriously, ain't none of us getting out alive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

when i'm home...for sure, come and stay with me any time. i've always got the couch available to you and, like me, my room mates also love meeting new and interesting people. for the most part, when i've got a couch surfer staying with me

when i'm travelling the world and couch surfing for myself...happy to do whatever to fit in...chill out, talk story, wash the dishes, help cook and clean (i always pefer to cook than wash up though!). walk and feed the dog...or any other animals for that matter. i'm pretty easy going so no problem at all. i used to be a builder too so more than happy to get handy around the house should things need a little DIY treatment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i'm fairly new to couchsurfing in the bigger picture of things but have enjoyed accommodating a handful of surfers since registering back in 2013. As for now, it's my turn to travel so looking forward to crashing on a few couches as i travel around the world for the next little while.

What I Can Share with Hosts

personally, i love the outdoors...so when surfing with me i'll be showing you everything that's possible to do outdoors around my area. whether it be surfing, paddling, SUPing, fishing, spearfishing, wakeboarding, hanging out at the beach...i'm always happy to share these experiences with people who come and stay. at the end of the day, i'd love to give you the real local experience from your time staying with me. and i won't leave out...there is also good food and places to drink around my area which i'll also be all too willing to share with you :)
