About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Roam around our world for as long as I can, learning as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in a small country town of 12,000 people where everyone knows everyone. Once 18 moved away from Horsham and have lived in Canberra, Sydney, Townsville and Melbourne. Melbourne being my favourite by far. I have worked as Subway "sandwich artist", farm hand, mine operator, Defenceforce, Barman and most recently Lifeguard. Now I am keen to WWOOF my way around Central and South America.

PHILOSOPHY

There's not much to it but to be happy and positive towards people. You will get the same in return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not offically surfed on a couch yet but when me and 2 mates were road tripping down the east coast of Australia we picked up a New Zealand hitch hicker who invited us to a couch surfing house party in Mackay, Queensland. It was the first time I had heard about couch surfing and the party and people were insane!!
