About Me

After many years, I'm finally back on the road. After spending much of my 20s travelling around the world. I finally settled down home and built my life. Now that it's all settled, I'm trying to get back out on the road and show that I've still got it. Looking forward to more couchsurfing adventures and getting to meet all these new people!

I'm a builder by trade back in Australia, but have lived abroad for many years and have worked many other jobs in that time. I love getting to learn new arts from fellow travellers. However my music preferences is an absolute mess and so won't even start. Like to spend most of my time getting outdoors and just learning new ways of life, though getting to meet people from all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been extremely lucky enough to stay with numerous couch surfers in my travels in what can only be described as the best experience of my life and have only recently had the absolute pleasure of open my doors to a fellow traveler! Now the doors open, feel free to drop a request!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had to most amazing reception in almost every country i have been to with CS. This is one of the most productive things that has ever come with the internet. Opening up a whole new side of traveling, where you get see and experience things other wise not possible. Combine this with Hitch hiking and now your traveling.

Interests

Football both the round ball (Soccer) and Oval Ball (Aussie Rules), Snowboarding, Surfing and Spear fishing. Love music (who doesnt), learning new cultures, trying to wrap my tongue around a new language, relaxing on the beach/in a park, bon fire and just being in good company.
