CURRENT MISSION

To shed unneeded layers so as to let the sun shine through

ABOUT ME

I have left on a journey that has taken me far from home but at the same time has made the world my home. Strangers, near-strangers, friends, loved ones, and varied sordid characters have taught me more than I could've hoped for. I want to engage, learn, explore and become!

PHILOSOPHY

It seems a common idea that we spend our lives building ourselves up in some form. I believe that what we should really be doing is shedding our past preconceptions and plans and find what's been hiding there all along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first started on Couchsurfing when I was living out of a van in Australia. I was given so much kindness on those occasions. I was able to temporarily host in New Zealand, but since have been moving around too much/haven't had a good space to host. With a more sedentary experience upcoming for late 2016, I hope to find a suitable place where I can host others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove from the Western coast of Australia from Perth up to Exmouth, then back to Perth and all the way to Brisbane in a 30 year old van with 3 fantastic friends.

Spent three months traveling India, on and off with other travelers.
