Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host people in London!

I have put up travellors in Australia all my life and love having people over. I also take people canyoning quite a lot and when im in Australia I can take groups of people canyoning, I have enough gear for about 7. When I get back to Australia I plan to do the same thing. I am highly knowledgeable about Australia and am happy to answer any questions or give reccommendations or help if you want to go there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met amazing people already through this site and I have only just joined!

Ive couchsurfed in Vienna, Salzberg and Annecy France and will continue to build on this. I really look forward to having my own place again so I can host also!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to think positive of every situation

Teach You - Hiking, Rock Climbing, Canyoning, Abseiling, Kayaking, Canoeing, Engraving, Volleyball, Golf, Massage

There is no such thing as being stationary, you are either moving forward or backward in life

When picking capsicums (peppers if not from aus) go for the smaller ones, the bigger they are if just means they hold more water there is let taste.

Do one thing everyday that scares/challenges/pushes yourself. If you grow by just a millimetre each day thats over a foot every year.
