ABOUT ME

Have bicycle, will travel!
I still call Australia home, whenever I'm here. Otherwise, ill be hiking a mountain, surfing or practising my Spanish. I believe travel should be responsible, friendly, and unpredictable!

PHILOSOPHY

SHI KAI
Las cuatro negaciones del Budo
Asustarse, temer, dudar y vacilar son las cuatro negaciones del Budo. Cuando uno se sorprende ante un suceso insignificante, por ejemplo, en la etapa previa al combate, se llega a temer al adversario, se duda, y en consecuencia probablemente se vacila en tomar la decisión correcta.
Las cuatro actitudes negativas nacen del corazón, y deben ser superadas por el practicante del Budo. Para ello se requiere tener fe en uno mismo, lo que se logrará únicamente con la acumulación de prácticas cotidianas, y fundamentalmente, cultivando el espíritu a todas horas del día.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to volunteer in different countries. Spent much time with an International NGO in Cambodia, and volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in Waimanalo.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had our first couch surfer stay here in Campbelltown last month. A young bloke from Chicago who was working promoting an international volunteer organisations. Stayed 4 nights in Campbelltown whilst presenting at the University of Western Sydney, Macarthur.

Interests

I've hiked in Tibet, kayaked in Laos, surfed in Hawaii and studied Karate in China and Japan, and cycled around the Eighty-Eight Temples of Shikoku!. I wished I could put my guitar on the back off my bike!
