About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to be a better person I guess. This is an ongoing mission that will probably never end, but why should it?

ABOUT ME

I have no idea how to tell you what I'm like, it's not easy describing yourself in words when words might not be my strong suit. I'm generally a pretty lax person and try and see the positive in everything. Sometimes I don't leave the house for ages, sometimes I spend months on the road somewhere. I do appreciate my privacy but that doesn't mean I don't love people. I usually travel alone as it is the best way to meet other cool cats and make friends. (Travelling alone doesn't mean you'll be alone!)

Lately I've been trying to grow up a little, quit drinking and concentrate on my studies and hobbies. I am at uni, trying to make something of myself. But if I want to go somewhere, I'll make a rash decision and just be on my way, worry about everything later :-)

I'm currently into running and indoor bouldering and will try and find opportunities to see cool places and meet rad people! I enjoy in depth conversations, good humour, relaxing, adventures, books, sports, music... anything really. I love hearing amazing stories from where you're from, where you've been and where you're going to. I have a thirst for adventure and hope to be able to see amazing places and experience new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for the moment, it'll turn into an amazing memory you can cherish for the years to come!
You can't be lost if you don't have a destination.
Being nice to a stranger doesn't cost you anything but might mean a lot to them.
A smile can brighten up anyone's day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been surfing in Europe and in Australia and meeting people back home. My ability to host changes from time to time, as I change places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Done it in Europe, mostly France and England, and in Australia. Had the best experiences and love the trade.

Interests

Anything. From hanging out to adventures. Sports, good books, music, people, places, you name it! Lately I've been really into running and climbing (indoor bouldering to be specific). I love being active, meeting new people and seeing new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

We can have an endless in-depth conversation about Harry Potter, but if you're not into that we can talk about Dostoevsky. I listen to all kinds of music, to give you an idea of what I'm into right now think Arcade Fire, And you Will Know us by The Trail of Dead, Talking heads and The Cold War Kids.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snuck into the Elephant Building in Bangkok to have a swim in the pool. The view from the roof is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach you is basically how I view the world and our existence in it. My worldview might be very different to yours or it might not, we'll see, let's have a chat! I try and see everything in a positive light, but you know, it's not always that simple. I'm a big fan of rational thought and independent thinking, as well as not taking everything too seriously :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts
