Australia has a new global ambassador, and he’s just as gorgeous as the country — Aussie native, Thor star, and future Miley Cyrus brother-in-law, Chris Hemsworth! Here are a few of the celeb’s fave Down Under adventures.

He loves to off road in his motherland.

“I’d take a 4x4, fill it with food, fishing rods, diving gear, a tent and surfboards and take off exploring. I’m always looking for new places to experience. There’s something about being off the grid and disconnected from the world and living amongst the elements that is incredibly refreshing. I prefer to not have a huge plan and just take it as it comes. I’d probably start in Victoria where I grew up on the coast and head north and keep on going!” Hemsworth tells Yahoo Travel exclusively.

He love to surf (and we love watching him).

“Our beaches are so pristine,” says Hemsworth. “We have some of the whitest sand, the bluest water. Our air is unpolluted and people feel free in Australia. It’s a place to relax. Feel the sand between your toes and get as close to nature as you can.”

He loves camping.

“Mallacoota, Victoria — this place is responsible for my love of the ocean, I camped here every Christmas with my family and it has everything, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, great surf, and an abundance of wildlife,” he says.
