About Me

Travel is a big passion. I'm slowly ticking off as many countries, cities, national parks, activities, experiences, hikes, and adventures as I possibly can in this lifetime.

I've been travelling for 4 years now through North America, Central America, Europe, Asia, and I'm currently hiding out in Australia until the pandemic is over and the travels can resume!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience a different way of travel, share stories, adventures, skills, fun and a beer!

Interests

I love all things outdoors, activities (from the docile to the extreme), and mountains. I'm aiming to go higher and further this year and welcome others with similar ambitions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Chernobyl to explore the reactor site and nearby abandoned town of Pripyat. Most surreal experience of my life.

Jumped off the 24m high Stari Most bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and becoming a member of the Mostar Diving Club.

Various multi-day hikes:
West Coast Trail - Vancouver Island
Mount Robson, Kananaskis - The Canadian Rockies
Tongariro Crossing - Taupo, New Zealand
Western Arthur Range - Tasmania
One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

Being part of Tribewanted on Vorovoro Island in Fiji, helping build a sustainable ecotourism community alongside a local tribe.

Converting a minivan to a camper to live in and roadtripping from Vancouver Island to the Arctic Circle and back.
