I'm an adventurer with a passion for exploring both the world and the human experience. Over the last 13 years, I've danced with tribes in Papua New Guinea, haggled in Indonesian, and built adventure tour businesses. I've even convinced my camera to capture the soul of landscapes!

I'm laid-back, sometimes philosophical, and always up for a good laugh. Alcohol's not my thing, but swapping stories over a cup of tea? Count me in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing to me is more than just a platform to find a place to crash; it's a global community of adventurers, explorers, and friends waiting to be discovered. In my 13 years of wandering this beautiful planet, I've found that the real magic lies in the connections, the shared laughter, the impromptu cooking sessions, and those midnight chats about life and everything in between. I'm here to meet you – the person reading this – to learn your story, share mine, and maybe even create a new chapter together. Whether I'm hosting, surfing, or simply sipping tea with a fellow traveler, Couchsurfing is my ticket to genuine connections and unforgettable experiences.

Interests

Adventurous photography, storytelling through video production, unraveling the mysteries of marketing, and philosophizing about life's quirks. Whether it's a remote island or a stimulating conversation, I'm all about diving in.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - Yuval Noah Harari is my latest obsession. I've consumed all his works. As for movies, I'm more of a rare watcher, but I'm always up for a good film recommendation. Now, music – that's where my soul sings. I'm into a bit of everything, from jazz to rock, classical to reggae. But the real magic happens when I jam together with friends, playing, creating, and losing ourselves in the rhythm. Got any instruments? I'm always in for a musical adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived the jungles of Papua New Guinea at 18, and no, I didn’t use Google Maps. I've also explored tribes in remote Indonesian islands. Did I mention the adventure tours? Oh yeah, I did that too.
