About Me

PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE
(Generic messages will be ingored and declined) :) thankyou.

Names Dan I'm 35 and travelling throughout my early 20s (21) til I was 31 was all I ever really thought about and did in life

The YouTube link to have a look at some past travel experiences is below.

Well, over a decade ago, I set myself a goal, and that was to complete at least 7 wonders of the world 🌎.

Within those 10 years, I closed the number at over 30 world wonders and touched down on 6 out of the 7 continents.

In the not so distance future, I do plan on doing and setting off to Antarctica to officially make it 7 out of 7 but when that is going to happen I have no clue I'm currently putting all my time and money into renovating my house 🏠 and that is another journey within in itself.

My ambitious and sparky young self made it a real personal mission to conquer the world 🌎 (didn't we all say that at 20 haha 😆) and I truly gave it my all and honestly I didn't do too bad within that time frame.

The biggest travel adventures and most memorable the years off would be ✨️.

Just over 2 weeks of diving in the Galapagos Islands 🏝
Ecuador 🇪🇨.

Spent 12 days Hiking to Everest base camp with my brother in Nepal 🇳🇵

Spending time in Iceland 🇮🇸 and Finland 🇫🇮 chasing the northern lights.

Sneaked into Russia 🇷🇺 haha (wouldn't do that in today's world, but hey, there was no protected border between Russia and Finland back in the early pre-COVID days.

16 days hiking 🚶‍♂️ through the Amazon rainforest in Peru 🇵🇪.

2 months travelling on a bus through North America
🌎 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

6 weeks travelling around South America 💫🙋

Lived in Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭 for 12 months (party year) 🥳

There are so many awesome little adventures I've gone out and seen, but those mentioned are the ones that I learnt the most. Again, each trip brought something new and different.

Over the years, I managed to smash out over 50 countries and over 400 major cities, so my carbon footprint today would be 100% unacceptable to some 😅.

After a decade of experiencing most of the most talked about adventures, I would like to think it's produced a super confident person who doesn't second guess himself too much and when I want to get something I just do it now without hesitation.

Fast forward a few more years, and I'm now living in Townsville and have a city pad ontop of a hill about 100m up over looking everything so its pretty neat to wake up to it everyday when im not working.

The reason I have to extend my roots here is that my house is right at the very doorstep of a rainforest filled with amazing waterfalls, nature walks, and animals (everything that makes North Queensland beautiful)

I work away 7 days on 7 days off and normally could host on thrusdays to Sunday because I go back to work monday afternoons.

When I'm home on my days off, I study part-time (travel and tourism aha and I've also got back into my gaming but I nust enjoy chilling out now and not being super busy.

I would say I'm still super outgoing and super friendly, and my key interests still are most definitely will remain getting amongst diversity and learning new people that part never dies and won't die out.

I will always be a firm believer in indifference because it is vital to learning and progressing in life and growing as an individual.

The biggest travel achievement I can say is🏆 I came in 8th in a worldwide travel competition the platform is called Travello it is a travel app. In early 2017 out of the 4800 people like myself, I made it in the top 15 then 10 and finally was placed 8th globally so for me it was the best thing for recognising my past and present travel blogs and experiences.

I have 2 domesticated carpet pythons and a cat now so not alot of animals so its good.

Even tho it's a 50/50 chance of being able to host you guys send me a message, I'll always be happy to help and show people like myself around the area when I have the time and meet someone new.

I do get a lot of generic messages from people who send the same message to other hosts, or some only want a hotel stop for a night this is not the place for yoy if its a airport stop.

This isn't the experience I'm after or why I use couch surfing, so if that is you, I most likely won't reply.

With that being said, I wish all of you the very best and again be safe on your travels and future adventures ⭐️🌠.

Dan 🤓.
