Hey! I'm Karina aka CJ.

Love to travel. I’m a firefighter in Melbourne, and live in the outer eastern suburbs. Or ‘the sticks’ as we call em.

Get a buzz meeting new people and having crazy fun adventures with them, chatting about everything, learning new things.

Love the outdoors... snowboarding, hiking, running, camping, mountain biking, rockclimbing, skydiving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Went been traveling and couchsurfing for many years, now I'm back home and keen to show travelers how amazing Melbourne and Victoria are.

Surfed through various places in Canada, USA, Argentina, Chile and offered our couch in Whistler a few times through the season.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked to a peak of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, Canada. Took a nap and was able to wake up on top of a beautiful glacier with a few for thousands of miles, endless peaks of white snowy mountains. All on a bluebird day.

Taking myself back to this moment sends shivers down my arms immediately. I hope you have a moment in your life that does the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love hearing other people’s story, where they’ve come from and what current journey they’re on.

Enjoy staying with local’s and seeing places through their eyes, and now have a place that I can welcome surfers to stay at.
