About Me

New to London and missing the sea!!!
Can't host right now :(
I work all over the place and random days but always up for adventure on my days off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed when I first moved to France, and I found CS was a fantastic base of where to start. Not only did I explore the city as a local, but I also found music groups to play with and made friends who helped me set up my life!
I am travelling now so am looking for places to stay and fun things to do with locals and other travellers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted by...In Lyon : Rusty and Sam, Martin, Jean-David.
In Annecy: Sam Supertramp
In kayseri, turkey: kamil and agah.
In tasmania: Bruce the cheesemaker, Matt the student who never went to class...
Never been in a housing situation where I could host :(

Interests

I play trumpet, guitar and sing...
I loooove camping. The swag is one of my favourite things about Australia! I spent the past winter in the Kimberley working as a tour host for an overland camping tour company. Cooking over fires, hiking, swimming and learning about the area and sleeping every night under the stars in my swag. It was incredible.
I also like taking photos, being in and around the ocean, hiking, mountain biking, and swimming anywhere that doesn't contain chlorine...!
I love to meet people and hang out, go to interesting places with them and hear stories and learn how other people live.

I've bungee jumped, skydived, licked sea anemones, scuba dived, climbed a glacier, and seen the most beautiful sunsets, but still the most amazing thing I ever saw was a friend lick his own elbow.
