About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around the world, in this direction ----->

ABOUT ME

Aussie guy + 1 ... hahaha. Nowadays I'm traveling with my wife, so although my profile says uno, actually, it's dos.

Christina doesn't have a CS profile because we either travel together or I travel alone! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Travel cheap, have fun, make friends, take photos, give as much as I take.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I'm looking to take advantage of the services offered by other kind souls.

Later, when I finish traveling, I'll have a nice comfy couch for others to take advantage of.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times, but I'm looking to get more serious about Couchsurfing ... especially in Europe and America.

Music, Movies, and Books

Whoa, I haven't got time to answer this ... waaaaaay to much stuff I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every minute of every day is amazing ... that's the wonder of life.

Um, specifically, so far in my travels I've really enjoyed hiking through the Himalayas. We spent 18 days trekking along paths near Mt Everest. I also got to see Everest Base Camp, which was cool. The highest we got was about 5600 meters above sea level.

Another big highlight was spending two weeks on a motorcycle riding along the Vietnam coast. Getting away from tourists was awesome. It was just me, the countryside, and Vietnamese people who are amazingly friendly.

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel light
Carry a camera
Be kind to others
Never talk about religion
Money is a tool, it's not the meaning of life.
Have good Karma...
