ABOUT ME
HEY COUCHSURFING, I'M GOING THROUGH SOME HEALTH ISSUES, SO SORRY I WON'T BE ON HERE MUCH ANYMORE. THANKS FOR THE JOYS AND GOOD COMPANY! -ANDI
Personal Focus Areas/Experience:
-Architecture (Master's Degree)
-Photography (professional amateur!)
-Fashion (amateur)
-Sailing
-Making friends!
Lately, things have been really lovely. The stars are still out but the dawn will break soon enough I hope! Right now I'm doing architecture studies, and it's my last year of school. I don't know if that makes me happy or sad, but I guess we've all been in school for such a looonng time that it's time to test the waters again! However, that doesn't mean I'll ever stop dreaming, playing, fighting, dancing, drawing, and living!
Dunno how much time Ill have left in Australia, and sadly I haven't even been around much! But I guess that means I'll have to come back for more!
Especially since I have soo many great friends and family now that want me to stay! What to do what to do!??
PHILOSOPHY
My most central ideal is to never hurt anyone, and as long as I am not hurting anyone, I might as well have as much fun as I can! But lately I've been finding that planning can provide me with greater likelyhood of opportunity and personal growth, just b/c I'm not waiting for it to walk up and hit me, but out looking all the time (as much as university permits!)
And... I was raised to care, so once you're my friend, I'll always hold you in my heart!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Awesome times...... people are so nice and offering. One time in Dublin, Yahouli gave me the keys to her place to stay for new years, even though she herself was in Berlin! WOW! but, didn't take her up, I felt like part of sharing hospitality is actually having her company! Another time Yahouli!
Interests
man... is it really worth listing? I find I am in that vast and numerous category of people that are interested in most anything! As long as you're willing to show me and let me try, I'll love everything! I equally love to share, and it has been a main part of my personality. I love to share experiences and ideas....just wish there was more of it the working world!

Music, Movies, and Books
All through life you get those people who tell you to read the classics, so that's what I'm trying to do finally! Started with Plutarch (nice and easy read!) and moved onto Plato's Republic, but that's alittle more attentive reading. I didn't mind Ulyssess by James Joyce, and just finished Anna Karenina after a year (not kidding!) of slow, indulging reading. What can I say, I loved that book, and every page was just bulging with sooo much detail, I could hardly turn a page without getting caught up in imagining it all! Sadly, I didn't like the ending, but it's still an amazing book!
