"The men of the present, to whom my heart once drove me, are strange to me and a mockery; and I have been driven from fatherlands and motherlands. So now I love only my children's land, the undiscovered land in the furthest sea: I bid my sails seek it and seek it. I will make amends to my children for being the child of my fathers: and to all the future - for this present!"

- Friedrich Nietzsche 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'

I'm a city boy from Brisbane, Australia, with a heart for the countryside, music, psychology, traditions, monastery ales, peaty scotch and a restless yearning to seek out strange territories of the soul far away and far within. Just finished psychology honours in Newcastle, Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems about time to give back to the couchsurfing community after being hosted by many wonderful people. It's generally a much nicer and more interesting experience than staying in a hostel.
