ABOUT ME

I am a filmmaker based in Melbourne who feels like he is at a crossroads. I am keen for new experiences to help me find some direction as to how i can reach my goals and grow as a person. I still have many things to learn and am relishing in the opportunities that will present themselves in this trip i am on.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you would like to be treated.

A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

The only thing to fear is fear itself.

Nothing is permanent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the concept of Couch Surfing and cannot wait to get stuck into experiencing it! It sounds like a unique and fulfilling way to experience a culture and environment whilst traveling around. I would like a new dimension to my traveling experience, away from the hubbub of going to all of the "touristy destinations" and partying all of the time. I am keen to get to know people on a grassroots level and appreciate the subtleties of their lifestyle and culture :)
