About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find out a little about myself with the help of a lot of new people and places

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventure sports junky. Skydiver, snowboarder, wakeboarder, rider of motorcycles,Rescue SCUBA diver, and as of latley, bungey jumper. I like to cook, drink and make beer and listen to other peoples take on the world, preferably over a glass of good red wine. I love food, music and adrenaline all in equal proportions. Favorite bands include The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Xavier Rudd, DMB, The Beatles and more. I play the Didgeridoo and like to skydive naked, true story.

PHILOSOPHY

"To be yourself is all that you can do"
"The only risk is one not taken"
"I am not afraid of stormy seas, for I am learning to sail my ship"
¨Take risks not to escape life, but to keep life from escaping...¨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Lately I'v been sufing more than providing. However if anyone needs a place to stay in the great state of Oregon, I have plenty of friends with comfy couches that are more than willing to meet some new people, so let me know. I currently live in the northern burbs of Syd. If you need a place...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both hosted and surfed a few times, never had anything but a good experience with it.

Interests

Anything outdoors and exciting. As well as all that other stuff I put, there is backpacking, hiking, being lazy, live music, being rad, using the word rad, soaking up new culture while attempting to not loose my own, swearing I don´t have an accent, cooking, rugby union, the words hella, heaps, dude, bro/brah, and the phrase ¨stoked off my face¨

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me whwhen you see me, stories are best told, not read.

Teach, Learn, Share

You know all those lessons that everyone is always trying to teach you. Well, they're all true, unfortunatlly, you can almost never learn a leason worth learning by being told. You're just going to have to go and learn it on your own. The only choice you really have is how you learn from it. Stay up, because being down is a waste of time.
