About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To conquer the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a chilled out person who enjoys travelling,meeting new people and seeing new exciting places. I enjoy travelling as I get to meet all sorts of new people from different walks of life and engage in conversation about their culture and country as well as sharing my own culture and travel experiences. One thing i always strive to achieve whilst travelling is to always engage with the locals, learn about them and how they live and their thought process.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe make the best of my time here, i make my own luck, good relationships and experiences is what makes us truly wealthy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In all honestly i havnt participated in CS that much as most of the countries iv been too, have only a small amount of members on this website. I also have not been home for over 2 years, so iv been unable to host any fellow travellers myself, altho this will change when i do return

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing, found out about it at a couch surfing party in Rio de Janeiro in 2011, iv never been hosted or been hosted but i have attended couch surfing parties in Phnom Penh, Cebu, Bangkok, Perth and a few other places

Interests

I have quiet a lot of interests, my more passionate interests would involve martial arts and kickboxing, spent a lot of time in Thailand, in Phuket,Bkk and Buriram learning Muay Thai in traditional style camps.Whaen i lived in Perth,Australia i occupied my time time learn brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Also when i lived in Phnom Penh i studied Khun Khmer
Im also quiet interested in motorsports, particularly motorbikes and all things related. This year i done a solo dirtbike tour 4200Km around Cambodia, been to every province and seen it all, best experience of my life!!
Other interests, obviously travelling, thats why im here. I quiet enjoy listening to music, dont really have a favourite type, i think every mood has a music genre to suit. I also like food and everything to do with it, cooking it but more so eating it if its tasty or something i havnt tried before

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Partied hard in Rio De Janeiro for 3 weeks for St Patricks day and Carnaval. Travelled all over Thailand kickboxing. Drove a dirtbike 4200km through every province in Cambodia. Done my fair share of Island hopping around the Philippines, coast of Cambodia and Thailand. Worked in the island of Ibiza in 2009 for 4 months. Lived in Western Australia in 2011 and travelled the state of WA

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many experiences to share with people doing things that your average person or traveller does not do. Such as kickboxing in Northern Thailand, far from the tourist traps. Iv drove a dirtbike through mountain ranges, jungles, minefields and paddy fields all over Cambodia on an 8 week solo tour. Iv been to many places and have had many experiences to share and i have also met many people along the way and share their experiences and knowledge. Im willing to learn or try anything, from something as chilled out as picking up a few sentences in a new language to something more extreme, putting life or limb on the line haha
