About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In the search for times that will never be forgotten...

ABOUT ME

Dark Hair, Brown Eyes, Medium Brown Skin, Australian English accented... have I missed the point of this one?

I really don't enjoy writing specifically about myself, read below you'll get a fair idea of ME... I'm best experienced in person.

PHILOSOPHY

You have the right to be you, strive to improve yourself if you must but always remember the important things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Fully embracing the nature of the couch surfing experience, taking a step away from the path most traveled and finding great people in the most surprising places. In the search for times that will never be forgotten.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a 27 year old Australian who has been traveling for the past 2 years...wow has it been that long? I have explored much of South East Asia, Europe and beyond but I'm hooked, I never want to stop! Places I have seen, people I have met will be forever hard-coded into my heart, soul and mind, but trying to find words to summarise my experiences here seems unjust. Maybe I have just been lucky, or maybe it's the open minded nature of the people who are part of this project, I can honestly say they have been some of the greatest experiences of my life to date.

Interests

Exploring new places, understanding new people.
Random events, personal tests, sport, current affairs, revolutionaries. Looking forward to the next surprise around the corner.
