I'm a pretty laid back adventurous guy and love traveling and meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I have lived and worked abroad in London and Houston but am moving back to Perth where I was born to start work again. But, before I do I am taking 8 months off to travel and learn some new skills (like flying gliders in Perth and surfing in India).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always found that I enjoy a new town the most when I am with locals who know it and speak the language.

And when I settle back in Perth I look forward to hosting other couch surfers in my home.

Interests

Good conversation (traveling/philosophy, meaning of life and all the big questions), and basically anything outdoors; hiking, climbing, SUP, surfing, snow boarding etc

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently listening to : old school rock (Pearl Jam, RHCP etc), Dave Matthews, Florence and the Machine, a bit of Hip Hop (The Herd, Eminem) as well as Manu Chao etc.

Books: guilty of enjoying some Fantasy (eg. Terry Goodkind, Raymond Feist) but also enjoy books that make you think about life ( currently reading the Prophet and the Alchemist)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just spent three months at home in Perth learning to fly Gliders (planes without engines). Oh, and I dressed up as a pink gorilla for an amazing night in Vegas (see photo).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of travel stories and experiences. The list below is not exhaustive but I have travelled extensively in North/Central/South America, Europe, India, and bits ifs of South East Asia.

And I'm really good at building oil rigs if you happen to have/need one ;)
