CURRENT MISSION

Staying in Portugal to teach English, learn Portuguese and enjoy myself!

ABOUT ME

I'm from Australia, from Perth/Melbourne. I'm in Europe to enjoy the cultural offerings, lifestyle and to teach English. I´ve been in Lisbon, it´s an awesome place!

I like music, art, philosophy, humour, all the cool stuff. I like going out to explore cities and surrounds, and meeting people.

I'm pretty open minded and respectful. I try to be a glass half full person, and I'm all about pushing the idea of using our collective imaginations for the good.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated is a pretty good basic one. I've got a bunch of others written down... Born to lose, live to win, by Lemmy from Motorhead is a pretty good one as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed a bit in Europe when I was in my early 20's, and then had couchsurfers come to stay with me in Melbourne. I think it's a fantastic idea. I really love getting to see the way different people live around the world. From when I've done it in the past, it's a fascinating window into a city and people's lives, and I've met some great people and had fun times through it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some weird English expressions, maybe a bit of Portuguese, and a few of the crazy Australian prime ministers we've had. Also how to land a plane, but I'll probably need a few drinks first to act it out.
