About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, see new places, learn new things and meet interesting people.

ABOUT ME

I'm from New Zealand but I have been living in Australia for the last 6 years. I have lived in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and now I'm just settling into Melbourne.

I like to travel and hear other peoples stories. I've Hitchhiked across Australia from Adelaide to Brisbane and Brisbane to Perth via Melbourne. I'm open to hear new ways of thinking any ways to look at the world we live in. Its also grest to hear about other cultures and ways of doing things along with tastong various foods from around the world. Spicy food is great!

I've couchsurfed in Malaysia, Korea, Australia and even once in my home country of New Zealand as well as hosting many times in Sydney and in Adelaide.
Its been a great experience and I've meet some fantastic people through couchsurfing , wwoofing and hitchhiking.
