Hi,

Amateur Photographer & digital retoucher
Surfing Instructor, Surfer & bodyboarder
Guitarist (both bass & electric/acoustic guitar)
Drummer (I play in a punk rock band called Scum of the Surf)
Kitchenhand at a fine dining restaurant called The Flying Fish (yes, I love cooking)
Woodwork, arts & crafts
Boating and other maritime pastimes
Hiking and/or exploring
Spirituality, meditation & other holistic activities

I welcome conversation and connecting with people
I enjoy being busy but I also enjoy my downtime too
I am low key and down to earth
I love both cats and dogs
My taste in music is eclectic, but currently the artist Thundercat is on high rotation in my music collection.
My friends and family are my life
I will add more to this later, but for now, this my 'about me'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world but I like the idea of deviating off the path and meeting people who aren't just fellow tourists or tour guides along the way. I want to meet people or locals that belong to the country I am visiting to help me gain a deeper insight into (and appreciation) of a culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most recent amazing thing I have done would be winning the People's choice award at the Victor Harbor Whale Centre photography competition.
I took a photograph of a large pod of dolphins catching a wave at my local beach. I was so happy after gaining a lot of recognition and praise from people all around the world.
It made me happy that it made them happy.
