CURRENT MISSION

To experience every culture i possibly can.

ABOUT ME

I have just finished school and am really looking forward to a year of experience, enjoyment, meeting new people and having a generally awesome time (GAP year).

I have been traveling a lot of my life, almost every holiday my family and i ship off to some far corner of the globe and experience what we can. In my first year of high school my parents pulled me out 2 months in and took us all to live in france for 7 months, i was thrown in the deep-end, and at the time was scared shitless, but as time passed and i learnt about the culture it became one of the most real and satisfying experiences of my life.

I am very interested in climate change, especially ocean acidification. I really want to try and make a difference in my life, try to right some of the wrongs of man kind. Another area that i'm really interested in is Zoology, i really want to contribute to zoological sciences in some profound way. However i'm still undecided between my pathway and i am hoping my GAP year will help clear up my indecisiveness.

I'm a big fan of food and know how to cook.

PHILOSOPHY

I think life should be experienced and every experience sought out no matter how orgasmic or repulsive, don't judge it, until you try it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couch surfing and want to try and get into it during my gap year, then when i get back home and move out, i can begin hosting all the friends i have met along the way. I think it would be awesome to meet a completely new and unknown person at least once a month.

So far none at all.
