About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To love life and live it in the moment

ABOUT ME

I love people, life and adventure. I love new experiences. An interest of mine is healthy living and I find it essential to live a life with a good work/rest/play balance.

I try to make the most of every moment I have by living it wholly. I enjoy keeping active and healthy by being outdoors, exercising and enjoying a healthy diet. I like connecting with people and celebrating!

I enjoy making strangers into friends, everyone is unique so meeting people is always a new experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Living life as intensely in the moment as you can, taking care of those around you. Live your passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been meeting and hanging with a range of couchsurfers that has given me a wealth of positive experiences and a few life-long friends, I'm sure. I organise small group outings, I enjoy attending events and I am happy to host travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have travelled with and hosted other CSers, met them for activities and stayed with a few others has been a fantastic experience for me so far. I look forward to many more.

Interests

My passions at the moment are surfing, football (soccer) and working in different places in the world and meeting new people. The full list is: soccer, fitness, martial arts, photography, meditation, Pilates, hiking/tramping, travel, nature, meeting friends for coffee/tea and the occasional night out!
