About Me

Current Mission:
to live the richest, happiest life possible.

Defining what that means has been the focus of my last couple of years. I’m a recovering workaholic who has been on the other end of the extreme for the last 2 years - reading, learning, growing and defining what the next chapter of my life will look like.

A few things I’ve learned along the way.

The more I grow, the less I know :)

We are all connected. Love isn’t to be feared. There’s no such thing as love points. It’s not a scarce resource.

From Into the Wild, Happiness is only real when shared. The most amazing moments in life are infinitely more meaningful when experienced with people who share the same awe and appreciation.

Adventures can and must be found anywhere at anytime.

The Four Agreements are life-changing principles to live by - always do your best, be impeccable with your word, don’t make assumptions and don’t take things personally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CouchSurfing. I hope to meet some great people with interesting travel stories through this site.

Interests

I'm self employed as a poker player. I've done this for 10 years. I'm now totally immersed in learning how to build a start-up - ala Seth Godin style. The aim of the game is to do what you love for a living.

I love cooking, reading, traveling, meeting new people, learning new things, dogs, bike riding, board games...
