About Me

Currently cycling Alaska to El Salvador.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town in Brisbane, Australia. When I was 19 I moved to Nepal to live with a local family, and I haven’t looked back since. The last few years I’ve been in my hometown working in the mental health field, and practicing Ashtanga Yoga. Now I’ve decided to do ‘one last’ big trip, so I’m cycling from Deadhorse in Alaska to El Salvador.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately since I'm often travelling I am surfing rather than hosting. I hope to host in the future when I have a place of my own! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used CS a few times on my travels. All have been very positive experiences, whether surfing or just meeting for a coffee. I think its a great thing. I love meeting new people and learning about them and their culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
