About Me

I am pretty easy going and enthusiastic. Whilst I do not have time to travel at the moment feel free to ask me any questions or we can organise getting a coffee or beer. I have lived in Sydney my whole life so I know the area very well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couch surfed 7 years ago around Europe and 2 years ago around the US. Couch surfing made my trip as I was desperate to meet locals. I also really like all the events through CS. Iv probably been to 10 by now and they always enhance my trip.

I'm interested in travel, US politics, sustainability, waste, history, astrophysics, enviro issues, alcohol industry, coffee, bush walks, the beach and getting involved with different cultures. I also love walking around a new city even if it takes all day :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In one day I went to the highest point in Austin to watch the sun rise with an American friend I made. Then we were taken to a strange, hardcore Yoga event with a local from Austin. After this we went to a beer festival, then were invited to a local house party. After partying there me and another friend went into the party district in Austin. After everything closed we hung out, played pool and watched the sun rise again outside the hostel.
It was a very long day!
