About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am currently living in Revelstoke doing a ski season before my visa finishes and i have to go back to Australia.
At the moment i am going to take a break from hosting/attempting to host people in Revelstoke. I am being overwhelmed with requests upwards of 10 emails a day of people wanting to stay. I am more than happy to still meet people in town for a drink and catch up and if things go well perhaps host you. Please email me when you are coming to town and I would be happy to catch up.

ABOUT ME

Well i like to think of myself as a fun sociable outgoing person. I love heading out and meeting new people and am always up for a good party and a drink. I am quite laid back and easy to get along with. Ever since i can remember i have had an this urge to take off and go travelling to see the world. Over the past 2 years i have put that into practice which has got me to where i am now.

After high school i attented the University of Queensland and have 2 degrees in Economics and Finance. I graduated in November 2009 and since then i have been travelling. I flew straight to Canada and did a snow season in Whistler. I then travelled the west coast of USA for 2 months visiting san francisco, vegas, san diago and Texas. I then flew to New York and boston. From there i then spent 6 months in Europe and visited 18 countries and i can safely say had the time of my life. I then came back to Whistler to do another season. After finishing up in Whistler i headed across canada visiting montreal, ottawa, toronto and quebec city. I was meant to fly back to Australia on Aug 8 but took a job up lac la biche Alberta in the oil rigs and am presently still working here.

That is my travel update to the moment. I am hoping to get to do more couch surfing in the coming few months.

PHILOSOPHY

You are only young once....enjoy it while you can.
