About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and learn as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

Still figuring out my path, but trying to get as much as possible out of the experiences I have. There's so much to see and do out there - where can I begin?! I'm open to almost anything and love meeting people, making new friends and sharing interesting experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Education is a lifelong process. The best way to do it is get out there and experience it for yourself and to meet people who've done it, read it, seen it, lived it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling at the moment, so looking forward to meeting some great people on the way, but also to having the chance to host in Aus when I get back.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a couch in Edinburgh during the festival and had the time of my life! Great people, beautiful city, amazing performances, wild nights.

Music, Movies, and Books

"Rap is an important form of modern day poetry." Despite the increasing amount of "C"rap that is released, I hold this to be true. Just have to find the right artists! That said, I can enjoy/appreciate most forms of music, whether classical, metal and so forth, but I am partial to hip-hop, soul (old and new), jazz and funk. I love to read almost any genre from popcorn fiction to "serious" literature, autobiographies, sci-fi/fantasy, historical fiction and non-fiction - always looking for suggestions! Much the same for movies - but I'm not particularly interested in schlock horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being bathed in falling sakura when the wind lifted at Osaka castle. That was pretty nice!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... besides the intangible - life lessons learnt, personally and from wonderful friends - I suppose... I can juggle! Yes, I can teach you how to do that. Also, perhaps the finer points of basketball if you're into it.
As for learning - my mind is always open to new skills, experiences and knowledge. Whatever you have or know, I would love you to share it with me!
