A little about me:

After growing up in one of the sunniest parts of the UK (believe it or not) I craved more sunshine. After convincing some of my best mates to come travelling with me, we all fell in love with what Australia has to offer.

It was hard trying to decide on where to live in Aus, but Byron Bay has everything. Amazing beaches, great nightlife, and great weather. I’m very lucky to live and work with my best mate Gregg, we’re like two peas in a pod (although I am the better golfer out of the two).

My hobbies are:

GOLF - I’ve always been a keen golfer, and it's a popular sport in my town back home, but playing here in the sun, it hits different.

Favourite spot in Australia:

Cairns. I had an amazing time exploring the Daintree rainforest, Swimming the Great Barrier Reef, and having a few beers on the beach. Having a Campervan or Motorhome is a great way to see this area, it’s so vast, and people often miss out on the surrounding areas and get stuck in the city. Have a look on the campermate app for the best camping spots!

Backpacking tips:

Backpacks are overrated. You don’t really need one unless you’re trekking through a jungle. Although we do recommend you bring soft bags for campervan trips, as it gives you WAY more space in the back of the van. Bigger motorhomes normally have lots of cupboard space so you can unpack.
