About Me

Hello everyone! My name is David and I am a Kiwi who currently lives in Singapore. One of my many life goal's is to embrace every weird and wonderful culture I can find on this wonderful diverse planet we live on.

I really enjoy meeting new people from all over the world, and being a couchsurfing host helps me keep that travel vibe going all the time when I am not on the road myself.

I have a positive outlook on life and don't take myself too seriously, firm believer in honesty, human kindness, karma, compassion and mutual respect.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep traveling and talk to strangers. Don't let risks stop you doing anything you want to do. Be spontaneous with things and act like a clown.

If you want to see where I am currently travelling, I keep my instagram pretty up to date at https://www.instagram.com/davquinney

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted Couchsurfers, attended couch surfing events, organised some couch surfing meetings, and couchsurfed myself

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think couchsurfing is great!! Literally everyone I have hosted or been hosted from has turned into a new friend. So I think it's awesome you can find like-minded people in pretty much every country in the world. The free accommodation is simply an added bonus.

Interests

Im interested in finding out the next crazy places to go visit that are off the beaten path.

My number one passion is photography, I shoot medium format and am a part time photographer.
Craft beer and parties keep me happy in the weekend's
