About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much as the world as possible - by travelling!

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy going, open minded person who loves new experiences, traveling and getting outside of my comfort zone.

Couchsurfing and traveling have opened my mind to other cultures and a wealth of different opinions, religions and experiences.

The most amazing part of Couchsurfing for me has been the ability to get an local's perspective of a country - completely away from the tourist trail and meeting like minded travelers.

Kat - I'm 27 and this is my first trip OS as an adult, and I owe it all to John ;) I've been working on an IT project for the last 18mths and it has been the biggest challenge I've ever undertaken. I'm so glad we've got this trip booked as its a great way to reward myself for the work that I've done. I'm pretty sure I don't know what I'm in for with this trip but I'm excited by all the possibilities! I'm excited by couch surfing, to see what a place is like, not just from the perspective of a tourist, but a local too!

PHILOSOPHY

From birth to death life is an open journey. Remember - you decide the destinations so enjoy the ride!
