About Me

A Kiwi traveller who moved to London to further my career and explore all the European cities on offer. Having lived in London for a number of years I recently quit my job, always dreamed about travelling through South America..... time to make it a reality in 2018!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet up with like-minded travellers, explore new countries, experience new cultures and make new friends throughout the journey.

Currently in Lima having explored a number of the sights Peru has to offer from the heights of Machu Picchu and Cusco, the exquisite Humantay Lake, riding with the entrants of the Dakar Rally 2018, the Oasis of Huacachina and Cordillera Blanca.

The next stop is Santiago to buy a 4x4 and carry on the road-trip via Bolivia to the top of Peru with a mate from Australia who is travelling on a motorbike. The rough plan is Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil from Jan to April 2018.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently got back from a trip to Whitehorse (Canada), a friend and I canoed 715 km / 444 miles to Dawson City in 5 days. We encountered black bears, grizzlys, otters, beavers, moose and bald eagles - highly recommend!
