About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit as many countries as possible and to meet many interesting and friendly locals.

ABOUT ME

I'm an enthusiastic and friendly person. Super tolerant of all living and non-living creatures. Hard working and easy to get along with. Although born in Melbourne I have lived most of my life on the Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia. I enjoy watching and playing most sports and have just recently obtained a open water divers licence and am very interested in moving up the ladder in the scuba diving world. I am always excited to get outdoors and enjoy all the natural resources this planet has to offer. Attending Sunshine Coast University and acquiring a degree in Environmental Science has taught me to have a deeper understanding of how our precious eco-systems need to be repected and managed at sustainable levels.

Before starting my travels I was working over on Heron Island on the Southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Working in the Maintenance department was a great experience in which I stayed for 6 months. I met some awesome people and made some close friends.

I'm from a large family . Having 5 wonderful sisters has definitely taught me to repect women and has helped define me as a functioning member of society. My brother is currently living in Jacksonville, Florida as he found his wife over in the United States.

I am an aspiring musician and amateur screenplay writer and hope to have my work professionally noticed sometime down the track. I was told about couch surfing from a fellow traveller and it sounded like a great opportunity to experience different sights and scenary and meet locals that make new friends.

I have only just begun my travels but have road tripped over most of the southwest, northwest and am currently visiting the eastside of the U.S.

If there is anything else you would like to know about me, just email me and I can give you the information required.

PHILOSOPHY

Genius is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to think that I have a fair portion of knowledge of the Flora and Fauna all over the world not just in my own home country. I play guitar and am trying to learn foreign languages (French/Spanish). Play many sports. I'm a handyman and can help fix/replace things around the house. Spent bunch of time snowboarding when in Canada probs heading back over next season to his some gnar gnar.
