About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet fun people who love showing off their hometowns and local hangouts

ABOUT ME

Now in my 3rd year of living in Australia (hailing from Surrey UK). Amazing couple of years based in Sydney but with farming work completed for my visa in Bundaberg, a couchsurfing cycling trip along the Great Ocean Road (and to Adelaide), the Great Barrier Reef as well as a trip to WA. Still so much more of Australia to explore! Also backpacked New Zealand last year.

Now sponsored to stay in Australia. Whoop!

PHILOSOPHY

If I don't fill this in, does it mean I don't have one?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not much couchsurfing completed but what I have done was awesome.

I want to organise more cycling trips for couchsurfers (Great Ocean Road was amazing!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still a bit of a newbie to couchsurfing. I have met up with a lovely couchsurfer in the Blue Mountains outside Sydney for a day of mountain biking and nature-talk. Organised a cycle ride along the Great Ocean Road with some fellow couch surfers, Plus a few nights in Adelaide...

Interests

Cycling
Films
Food markets
Reading - one of the best things about travelling, is that you finally have time to read!
Food - Coffee to get me out of bed, I love lychee martinis, freshly baked bread and butter, steak and I swear by a bacon and egg sandwich to cure a hangover.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm...
- hand gliding in Rio
- London to Amsterdam was my first long cycle and since then I've got the cycling bug bad!
- on our last day in Yosemite National Park we spotted two cubs and a momma bear just as we were leaving the forest.

Oh, just noticed it said one, not three things.
