About Me

Writing biographies always feels so awkward.
Until recently I was a bushland restoration worker in Australia.
But after the lockdowns (I lived in the most locked down region in the world) I needed something new; so I saved some money, quit my job, and now I’m traveling through Europe and the UK for a while. So far I’ve had an amazing time and met so many incredible people that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. At home most of my time was spent spearfishing, running, camping, skateboarding, and writing songs on my harmonicas and guitar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make connections around the world and to see how the average person lives in the countries I visit.
