About Me

ABOUT ME

Love; travelling, meeting new people, drinking, being active, being amazed, a bit more drinking, a lot more travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

'Vex not thy spirit at the course of things, they heed not thy vexations'- Marcus Aurelius

'Character can only properly be developed in the proximity of risk and danger'- Robert Baden Powell

the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.- Jack Kerouac

'Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road'- Jack Kerouac

'Friendship dances around the world'- Epicurus

""Would you tell me, please which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
" I don't much care where-" Said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat. " Lewis Carroll

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed around Asia with a friend which was amazing because CS allowed us to become integrated into the communities within a matter of hours. The bad thing was that it made leaving places harder because of how amazing, funny, interesting and kind the people we met there were.

I am humbled at how amazing the people here in Manila are.

Interests

I love travelling especially travelling for the food. I love photography, mainly on film /Lomography. I am a keen climber and bike rider. I enjoy Philosophy and study it at university

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiking across europe with no money for charity was pretty fun. We had 48hrs to travel as far as possible without using money, two friends and I made it from norwich (UK) to Hungary (Eastern Europe).

Back-packing around Southeast Asia for a while was crazy fun.

I lived in Australia, Philippines and Myanmar for abit which was pretty fun
