About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and meet new people.

ABOUT ME

In 2013 I took a year off work I travel the world and visit new places. Been to over 200 cities in approx 70 countries all over the world. Always willing to give advice/tips to potential travellers.

My next major project is to start up my own travel company looking at putting together customised tours. www.designyouradventures.com

PHILOSOPHY

I love travelling and experiencing new places and new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am mainly looking for somebody who is able to help me out in any way whilst I am travelling around. Whether it's a couch or some floor space, showing me around, or even just providing tips for where to go and where not to go, anything can make a difference.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed with about 3 people and hosted 3 people. Been to a few events and met approx 10-20 people (not all are listed on here)

Interests

At the moment, my passion is travelling around the world and understanding different cultures.

I am also interested in many different sports, from Australian sports such as AFL, Rugby League and cricket to American sports such as basketball and hockey, and European football.

I also enjoy reading books and documentaries about crime and historical events.

Music, Movies, and Books

In general I love politically incorrect comedy (eg Borat)& horror movies (eg Saw, Hannabal).

My favourite genre of music is 70's & 80's rock (eg Queen, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Midnight Oil).

I love reading crime novels and books about the human mind.
