About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Develop solid and lasting relationship with new friends...

ABOUT ME

I'm a Digital Marketer by profession, and a ceramists by passion with a keen sense of adventure. I'm generally happiest when I'm exploring a new places and doing new things, or simply outside enjoying a beautiful day with friends, some good music and a coconut.

I'm from Sydney and lived in NYC and now in Bali.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today!

Create the life that you want to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Bali and travel maybe twice a year. Usually one trip back to Sydney to visit friends and family and then another to explore new places and cultures. I tend to travel alone more and more these days and so am open to connecting with like-minded people at various points along my travels.

COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE

I have caught up with a few people for coffee etc while in Australia. I stayed with one person when I first moved to NYC which was fun. I haven't yet hosted anyone as I've always lived in full share houses and I currently live in a one-bedroom tiny house.

Interests

I have a passion for art & culture, making things out of clay, listening to live music, taking photos and keeping fit with surfing, walking and yoga.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - too much to list. Mainly indie, scar, folk, funk and anything else that sounds good to dance to or chillout with.

Books - been reading way to much non-fiction of late. I could do with a good novel - any recommendations?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking to the top of the highest volcano/mountain in Panama in one day. At the top of the mountain we were sitting above the clouds and were told that on a clear day you could see both oceans either side of Panama.

Seeing the most amazing pop-up city in the world, rise and disappear over the space of a week in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach yoga, meditation and ceramics.

I'm keen to learn everything and anything I don't know... which is a lot... it's a bit wide world full of new and old things i'm still yet to discover.

Happy to share words of wisdom from my own life experiences to anyone who's open to hearing them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel tips & stories, my yoga & meditation practice, and what ever else pops up in conversation.
