About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Escape from normality

ABOUT ME

Base camp is Australia, Katoomba.. up in the mountains where the air is fresh and we get awesome views. I generally work from home, everything is via the net these days. So If you came by my place I'm free most of the times. My place is one second a way from the main street of Katoomba where all the cafes and eateries are. I live with my girlfriend and we have a pet rabbit named Totoro.

Katoomba is fairly far form the main Sydney city, its about 2 hours by train. We have things like the three sisters up in the mountains, Which are three big rocks sticking out of the mountain, pretty cool. Theres also this nice chocolate shop on the next train stop, serves good waffles.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to make it work so I don't have to work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time I went couch surfing was in korea, did not know what to expect, I could have been staying at some crazy persons house. But as soon as I got there I was welcomed with such a warm and friendly person who is now one of dearest friends. I hope to make more friends like this along my travels.
