Overview
About Me
Im a pretty happy go lucky kind of person, love to just fly with the wind and see where the meaningful coincidences in life lead to. I'm very open to all people and all experiences as every one of us has something unique and individual to share with the world!
As Ekhart Tolle says "you are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!"
I first began to travel in 2011 when I went to Sweden for a 6 month exchange program and haven't looked back since.
After this extraordinary experience, a series of enlightening events began to unfold in my life, and since then I havent really stopped travelling!
I'm a firm believer that we are nothing more than a product of our thoughts.
Ghandi reminds us that we ought to watch our thoughts because they become our words.
Watch our words as they become our actions.
Watch our actions as they become our habits.
Watch our habits as they become our character.
And watch our character because this becomes our destiny.
I practice regular meditation and try my best to live a mindful, present life.
Someone once told me that meditation is like weeding the garden. When we take the time to make our mind loving, calm and kind, then for that period of time no negative states can take root. It is as if you have removed the sunlight of your attention from them. The way to understand this process is that each mind state conditions the next one over time. By deliberately cultivating love, you create the conditions for future mind-states to be more loving.
"If the sight of blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields
has the power to move you,
if the simplest things of nature have a
message that you understand,
rejoice, for your soul is alive"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Because i'v been on the road so long, I havent had the chance to host, but I have couch surfed a few times and have shown people around my home town.
One of these days when I'm settled for longer than a month at a time I'd love to do some more hosting
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'v surfed in Ecuador and the USA, and had surfers visit me in my hometown of Mildura

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Talked (or - bribed) my way into San Pedro Prison in Bolivia back in 2013
Recently I took my van on a 4WD adventure through the centre of the Daintree Rainforest by myself.. (My van is NOT 4WD!) got stuck in a crocodile infested river & my car broke down. But it was one of the best adventures being in the middle of a forest, solo, pitch black night listening to native people screaming & birds singing
