Overview
About Me
I grew up in Cairns, a small and beautiful city in Australia.
I studied in Brisbane and have finally finished!
I love to travel and meet new people, experience other cultures and love to laugh!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm motorcycling around Europe and because my time might be limited as I travel I thought the best way to get immersed and learn the local way of life was to live with a local!
If you can host me I would be very grateful, especially if you could teach me about the language, customs and... food!
I like meeting new people and getting to know them, everyone is so different but we are all similar in a lot of ways - regardless of where we're from.
Interests
- motorcycles
- movies
- sailing
- skiing
- history
Music, Movies, and Books
I like most types of music and am always interested to hear something different.
I love movies, can't get enough! Some of my recent favourites include Sicario and The Grand Budapest Hotel - which are the complete opposite of one another. Also Seven Samurai, Pulp Fiction, The Departed etc etc
I like to read too, I wish I did it more often! I don't know if it's my favourite book but perhaps one that stuck with me the most is a trilogy written by Cormac McCarthy called The Border Trilogy.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In 2012 I was part of a three man crew that sailed a yacht from Grenada in the Caribbean to Australia. It took seven months but we stopped off at lots of tropical islands along the way, it was an amazing experience.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Friendship and laughter!
And maybe a ride on a motorbike?
