CURRENT MISSION

Travelling Eastern Europe for the next 7 weeks. Ukraine to Croatia.

ABOUT ME

Have now committed to a full time job and the real world after 6 years of living and travelling away from home. I can only sometimes host depending on my work and other commitments.

About me, I am an independent traveler, you wont ever find me on a contiki or similar tour bus. I love the outdoors, I will spend most of my travelling time surfing, diving, hiking and camping. I prefer the small towns then the big cities.

Not much of party person anymore. Willing to take couch surfers surfing :) Always training, so if you need a run/swim/workout while travelling I am happy to bring you training too.

PHILOSOPHY

Why travel? To see and experience it for myself. Thats why.
'Those who live see much, those that travel see more' i forget whos quote that is. Mine now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couch surfing from other travellers and love the idea of people opening their homes and hearts to other travellers and helping like minded people. I think its great that this community of people exists. One of the rewarding things of travel is the people you meet and friends you make.
I have hosted people i have met while travelling (when possible) and will always try to help out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with a few people now and have enjoyed my experiences so much and wish i had done this sooner and really like it more then hostels as you get a better bond of friendship.
I am looking forward to going home so that i can host other people.

Interests

Outdoors, hiking and mountains, surfing, diving, snowboarding.
The ocean, i miss the australian ocean and surfing
Travel, of course
Sports, always a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. And i have now have ice hockey and soccer as well as rugby to enjoy.
Music, love live music, from festivals to small bars i always try to find a live music venue while travelling. Its also a good way to go to a bar and not feel alone and awkward.
