About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel then do my masters, live and work around the world.

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and have been doing it my whole life.
I'm finishing my Masters of Chemical Engineering. Wanting to get into Oil and Gas industry.
I want to learn more languages and discover the world, in doing so I would like to study on exchange somewhere and of course work internationally in the near future.

I love being active, running around, hiking, swimming and just generally doing silly things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would love to build relationships through Europe before settling down in a place to live.
I want to meet locals from the cities, get a fuller travel experience. The best way to do this is to chat with people, heard new ideas, and see different things... which is why I travel.

I've work at a Hostel in Melbourne, and Club Med in France. I'm well travelled and know my stuff. I live with 3 other guys, 1 of which speaks Spanish fluentt.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only surfed a couple of times through the website. I have however crashed with many people that I've met along my way through travelling. I love getting to see a more true side of the city, not just the empty tourist experience. That's why when I travel I try to live where I travel.

Now we have a rocking house in Melbourne so close to the city, we're happy to get hosting!

Interests

Travelling, and living overseas. My first travel was at 14months old, and since then have had 5 passports, and lived and visited countless countries. It's now in my blood and I crave it.

Playing sport and almost everything out doors. Hiking, team games, randomly running, screwing around in parks and in the country. Just being outside in the sun makes me happy.

Beer. When I travel I try to taste local beers. I love almost all kinds, from trapist, tripels, wheat beers, ales, pilsners, stout. Especially love darker beers.
Sciences. Sucker for chemistry and maths, studying chemical engineering.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies, have to see all the classics, I've seen a lot of films, and too many favourites to list. I am also a very very big Star Trek fan.

Enjoy reading classic books that come my way, now trying to read a lot of bilingual books.

Music almost every single thing, but I always come back to my rock music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Saudi Arabia under sharia law is an unbeatable experience, like nothing else.

Hiking the GR20 in Corsica alone in wind, rain, snow, and fog, not being able to see more that 5metres in any direction, and sliding and climbing across wet rocks on mountain crests 2000metres high. One of the scariest I've done, but breath taking.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I travel the things I want to learn to do just grows longer, I regret not learning an instrument.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bahrain, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Laos, Monaco, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom
