Hey there! 👋

I'm Jay, an easygoing Aussie who loves meeting new people, sharing stories, and experiencing different cultures. Whether it's exploring hidden gems in a city, trying out local food, or just having a great conversation over a beer, I'm always up for an adventure.

When I’m not traveling, you’ll probably find me editing all my cool travel photos, playing Spikeball, and planning my next trip. I believe in the spirit of Couchsurfing—not just as a way to find a place to stay, but to connect with locals, exchange ideas, and create unforgettable memories.

I’m always happy to contribute—whether it’s cooking a meal, sharing travel tips, or just bringing good vibes! Looking forward to meeting amazing people on this journey.

See you somewhere in the world! 🌍✈️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- Meeting New People – I enjoy connecting with locals and fellow travelers, exchanging cultures, and making new friends.
- Authentic Travel Experiences – I want to experience places beyond the typical tourist spots and see the world through the eyes of locals.
- Adventure & Spontaneity – I like the unpredictability of Couchsurfing, embracing the unexpected and making every trip unique.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been in the middle of an empty snow field in Iceland at 2am at -28degrees celsius and seen glimpses of the Northern Lights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that "taking the road less taken" is the best way to experience a culture more effectively. Simply going to capital cities doesn't necessarily allow you to do this because it is usually much more westernised to make people comfortable to be there. I don't like the comfortable, I like the uncomfortable because that's how you learn, mature, and experience a new culture, because it pushes your boundaries.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences from travelling everywhere. I love sharing about stories and teaching them about my home country. Also, I can cook :)
