ABOUT ME

Photo Portfolio:

I'm a book-nerd, wildlife lover and aspiring circus freak seeking total personal liberation. A poet, barfly, and hedonist on a crash course of pleasure. A foodie, art lover and cultural critic bent on seeing a beautiful new world spring up revolving around community, biocentric connection, and autonomy.

I have an unbearable passion for life, I want to see everything the world has to offer. I'm curious about how it all works and what the effects are. I want to know more, I want to do more... I want every bit of life that's out there...

Started rolling about 2003 and spent the better part of the next 7 years on the road, only staying in one place for at most 3 months. Now I'm a little more sedentary, but I still get out for my share of adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Swap stories of adventure and intrigue. Attempt to inspire others to be the most amazing versions of themselves.

Traveled around Australia with help from some gracious Couchsurfing hosts.

Now, I'm slightly settled down (in a very boring suburb) where I'd be glad to host.

oh, and I'll cook you a delicious meal =)
