Update 2021 - Australian living in Indonesia - So I completed my "mission" and actually spent the past 9 years working in Aviation and travelling the world, drinking great coffee and having amazing adventures. Couch Surfing was a catalyst to this - the main difference being that while I was travelling full time, work provided us with 5 star hotels. The irony here is that while the hotels were expensive, they cheapened the travel experience. I loved connecting with local people living in the cities I was visiting. This diminished when travel became my career and is why I thought I would go back to where it all started - couchsurfing!

I'm 38 now. I continued studying Philosophy. I have had some career success and developed self knowledge. Friendships have come and gone, but I know who I am and what I stand for now. I hold myself to a high standard and am committed to integrity, truth, reason, evidence, universalism and objective morality.

I spend my time studying behavioral psychology, tech, history, religion, antiaging and regeneration, fitness and economics. I still do Yoga, though am more focused on strength training these days. I continue to love hot chocolates, no longer drink vodka, having switched to Gin.

If I sound like someone you would like to get to know, it would be great to stay with you.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
