Overview
About Me
I am a homeowner with housemates back home in Australia, so I know all about making sure a place is respected, well loved and well lived in.
I have travelled to more than 60 countries, have dabbled as a lawyer, engineer, entrepreneur, innovation manager and am now a management consultant and help big businesses grow and perform better.
I am the second of four children and we're all super close. I have four very cute nieces and nephews.
My greatest bliss is deep powder on my snowboard, hiking epic, dramatic landscapes and really fun music festivals where anything goes and it's unpretentious. I am social and outgoing, love deep conversation, avocado and meaningless chit chat. I do lots of exercise. I love doing laundry, hate ironing. I've recently found myself reading about how people think, feel and relate to one another.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have reached a point in my travel career where I am drawn more to the local fixer than the global traveler. I am passionate about experiencing a place as if I was a local and I hear couch surfing is an epic community to facilitate and share that with others
