About Me
ABOUT ME
G'day,
I arrived in Perth in March 2014, fresh from graduating from Westminster University in London (where I was born and raised). Now working in the big city and surfing on the weekends.
I live in the best location, a cute overgrown bungalow close to the city nightlife and that of Beaufort St, but its quiet enough that you can get some sleep. The roads around me are frequently served by inter state buses and local public transport.
I am very ambitious, by the time I am 30, I want to have climbed to Everest base camp (tick), trekked through the Amazon, complete my Masters Degree and start my own renewable energy sustainable architecture company.
I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot of the world, Guatemala. Iceland, Malaysia, New Zealand and the list goes on... bet theres plenty more left to see.
I've actually stayed at a few peoples houses travelling through Europe, and now also in Australia. So it's time to repay the favour.
I can only really accept guests from Friday - Monday as everyone in our house is working in the week. If you are travelling to Perth as a one night thing i.e. as a stop over to somewhere else and want a hotel for a night, thats not cool. Although I have been in the same situation I dont want strangers in my house, I want to get to know you, and be able to show you what Perth has to offer.
Please let me know what you want to do in Perth, or Western Australia and we can help you plan something, i.e. surfing, whale watching, bush walking, or drinking coffee or drinking an overpriced cocktail in a Melbourne copy lane way.
I will provide a very comfortable couch, bed linen, towels, soap, toothpaste, a good hearty English meal and a glass of western Australian wine.
I wont accept your response unless you can reply to the following in your message - how was Jesus able to feed 500 people with 2 fish?
PHILOSOPHY
I believe everyone was created equal, and everything is achievable. The word impossible actually says I'm possible!

Haha, one?
Probably after climbing for 12 days straight, climbing up to Everest Base Camp at 19,000feet and being shrouded in snow and mist so that we couldn't see the god damn mountain, thanks mother nature!
Teach, Learn, Share
