About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To hopefully show you a good time in Townsville

ABOUT ME

I have a pretty demanding job working long hours through the week days, as a result I like to maximise my weekends and off times by doing as much as possible with as many people as possible.

I would be described as one of the most easy going and laid back people you'll ever meet. Stress? maybe a little bit of work stress through the week, but there is really nothing worth stressing about, especially when the weekend comes.

I have done a little travel myself, and am a bit of a hybrid blend also, Czech father, Filipino mother. I believe travelling is the most rewarding thing a person can do, for more reasons that can be listed, and I would feel nothing more than rewarded in being able to help travellers out in whatever way I can.

PHILOSOPHY

To get the most out of life, as Asaf Avidan sung
"One day baby we'll be old, oh baby we'll be old, And think of al the stories that we could have told"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a 3 bedroom house by with my girlfriend Mara, and a little Toy Poodle Cross dog named Louis Boy... I am working on setting up a bedroom as a guest bedroom.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not done any couch surfing at all myself. A friend very recently informed me of this whole concept, which of course I find fascinating, and thought I'd jump on at the first opportunity. At this stage with work I am unable to get away to do any surfing, so though I'd do my bit with hosting.
