About Me

I'm an Aussie turned traveler. I left Australia 4 years ago. I have traveled and volunteered across South America, Africa, Middle East, Caucasus and Europe in that time. Currently basing myself in London between travels to fund my adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like-minded locals in the places I visit

Interests

Travel... but I guess that's a given!
Nature is my happy place. I love hiking, camping, scuba diving, just being in nature.
Traveling by local transport and eating street food rather than luxury. Prefer to stay in hostels, tents, couch surf over hotels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Shantaram and Marching Powder- typical traveller books. I've been reading books based in Africa and India too which is inspiring me- not that i need it. The alchemist made me plan a last minute trip to morocco when I wanted a reason to escape a job I didn't like. Alone in Berlin and the Book thief are amazingly written WW2 Germany based books that I loved.

I like Indie Rock, Indie Pop, acoustic chilled out music. I usually listen to a random playlist and go see random gigs. Do you know Sofar Sounds?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living 7 months out in the Bolivian Amazon working with amazing animals rescued from illegal trafficking.
But it's hard to pick just one!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about your city/town/ country/ culture. Also want to learn guitar and languages... Spanish?
I can offer some funny stories and a positive fun vibe and maybe a new travel buddy for somewhere in the world!
