My name is Michael and I am Australian traveling throughout South America with my girlfriend, Elsie. In Australia, I spend my time working restaurants, landscaping and with people of a variety of different cultures and abilities. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach, cooking for friends and enjoying the outdoors.
