About Me

ABOUT ME

I am an Australian that got majorly lost at some point and ended up a long way from the beach in a cold, beautiful piece of land called Sweden. I am a curious person and I like to explore, I guess that´s how I ended up here really.

I like balance, which means I drink and go out about as much as I run. I am almost impossible to offend. Seriously, try me. If you find south park funny then we will have things in common. If you like curb your enthusiasm, peep show, alan patridge, or arrested development then we will also get on.

I love travel, house, funk and new disco music, I am a really awesome bedroom DJ. I experience, I want to try new things, always. I am open minded, I have ideas and I want to make them happen.

PHILOSOPHY

Remain optimistic, people are inherently good, laugh and have a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have become a member of several couch surfing groups in different cities (Puerto Vallarta, Santa Marta, Bariloche, Rio de Janeiro) and made some great friends through CS traveling through Central and South America. I have stayed with a couple of people and travelled/socialised with many more. You will always be welcome to stay with me whether that be in Australia, here in Stockholm, or wherever I am living!
