About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Europe

ABOUT ME

Shortly after beginning my University studies in Australia, I spontaneously boarded a plane for London. Since then I've been making my way around Europe with friends new and old, stopping in Scotland every now and again to work and save.

I think I am fairly easy going, with a strong interest in music and tea. Like every other couch surfer I joined for overseas adventure, meeting new and interesting people and to experience other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

"...this ability to act for the common good ... was perhaps not a virtue but, on the contrary, a lack of something - not a lack of good, honest and noble desires and tastes, but a lack of life force, of what is known as heart, of that yearning which makes a man choose one out of all the countless paths in life presented to him and desires that one alone." - Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am still relatively new to the concept of Couch surfing, not yet being a consistant user. Although I've hosted twice and met a few people for coffee whilst living in Australia.
