Where's home?

Manchester – But calling Byron Bay home for the time being Yewwww.

Languages spoken:

English

Time spent in Australia:

3 years!

A little about me:

I spent my time at home being king of the BBQ at Nandos flipping chicken before I decided that life was 100% not for me hahaha….

I then flew to Thailand worked as a Scuba Diver living the dream in Koh Tao before flying to Australia and starting to help backpackers just like me with traveling this BEAUT country and yeahhhh the rest is history!

Best moment in Australia:

My best moment in Australia has to be exploring Fraser Island it is unreal

But the funniest WILL ALWAYS be the time I attempted my 88 days farm work for the 1st time and got paid $60 (£32) for 12 hours work because I am not made to pick oranges…

Not going to lie it was a tough day and the farmer did not want me back…

Backpacking tips:

1 Key tip from me is 100% Travel before going to do your farm work ahahahahah.

Type of traveller:

Backpacker who loves a 12 bed dorm at heart but would not say no to a little Air BnB from time to time.
