About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world with the guidance of others who live in it. To create connections.

ABOUT ME

I am easy going and down to Earth. I love to meet new people and share ideas, listen to different views and tell it how it is. I can party hard but am just as happy chilling out with a book and listening to music.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a right way and a wrong way. And the wrong way is to think there is a right way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couch surfing of a friend who is involved and thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea. I am on an adventure of a life time and would like to meet people who are able to enrich and contribute to that journey, and in return I hope I am able to contribute to their lives aswell.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First couch surfing time was stayed with a family in rural Sri Lanka teaching English in the fathers school. The second was in Japan staying with an awesome Japanese guy who loves musicals as much as I do!

Interests

I've been studying Buddhism for a year and a half and love to hear other people opinions and views about it and other belief systems. I a sing and play ukulele and piano and love making connections through music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed in the Opera House in Sydney. Taught English to Tibetan monks in India. Lived in Buddhist monasteries in Australia and Nepal. Worked in an orphanage in Sri Lanka. White water rafted down the Ganga river in Rishikesh.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and basic Ukelele. I really want to learn how to cook new dishes and speak new languages (though I am not very good so you will have to be patient haha). I can share travelling stories, information on places I've been that you might like to go and new ideas.
