I've never been one to plan too much. I've been told that I'm laid back, even for Australian standards. Making the most of opportunities and rolling with the punches comes naturally. I was brought up in a house of 6 children before attending a boarding school, so being surrounded by people and encountering unexpected experiences is all I've ever known, I've come to realise it's what I need.
Interested in Beer
Interested in Concerts
Fluent in English
Learning Arabic (Morocco)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Seems like the best way to travel - local knowledge / insight / experience, potential friends, roof over my head (maybe), and I'm sure some incredible experiences that wouldn't have happened if I didn't join.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Most things other than Heavy Metal and Screamo Movies: Lord Of The Rings, The Lion King, TV: Flight Of The Concords, Game Of Thrones Books: Not really a reader. Just started 'Barbarian Days', slowly realising this reading thing isn't so bad.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Once rode a bike from Townsville to Cairns (350 km or 220 miles) for charity. With my mum!
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I can teach you to surf (if you don't already know how) either in the water or over a beer if you don't have time. If that doesn't interest you then Learn: Anything and everything. Any wisdom is welcome. Share: I can cook dinner! I won't be awarded a Michelin Star any time soon but I've got a few recipes up my sleeve.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Australian Slang. The way I see it, if you put a roof over my head then i'll go out of my way to share what i can and to not take your generosity for granted.
My Interests
I really just love to surf. Everything else that happens around that is a bonus.
