Up until recently I've been living a very linear lifestyle. Get up, go to work, have some time to play, but not as much as I wanted. My life now is about experiencing the world, trying new things and making new friends. I realised that once you make a decision to change your life you have already taken the hardest step towards doing something about it. Having gone from a very materialistic lifestyle, I am now living with a small percentage of the possessions I once had but feel so free in comparison. Most people answer the same question when you ask what they want out of life. Free time to spend with family, friends and travel, yet all people seem to do is fill their life with things that stop this or make it very hard for it happen. No longer will I be a slave to the things I own whether this be a house, a car or a job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are plenty of interesting people out there and it seems a shame to limit the possibility of meeting those people to just chance meetings along the way. The internet makes the world a much smaller place and you just never know who you will come across!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a trip to Trinidad and Tobago I helped some locals transport building materials through the jungle on a half day hike so they could continue building part of their property.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught martial arts for a number of years in various locations around the world. This included a system of self defense which was taught to children and young adults in schools and summer camps near Toronto, Canada.
