About Me

HI!

I've been couchsurfing since about 2010 and am fully behind the philosophy. I love the way we exchange culture, experiences and give to each other.

I love anything to do with water - I surf, scuba, sail, swim, kayak, snorkel, all of the things!

I have been living on my boat for 2.5 years. My ex and I travelled up the east coast for 18 months living and working on the sea. You are most welcome to come join me for some adventures on the reef and stay aboard for a while.

I'm open and love to listen to stories. I am always searching for a great adventure and a way to connect with the natural environment. There are plenty of amazing hikes with stunning rainforest and scenery around here and I'm always keen to get out amongst it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share, exchange, learn and meet people from places I have no idea about!

I always try and couchsurf whenever I'm travelling

Interests

I've played and referee'd basketball since i was 6 and still love the NBA. Camping, hiking, surfing and anything that connects me to nature keep me on a high. I play the guitar, didgeridoo and a little bit of piano and I find music a very positive influence.
