About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Challenge yourself and die a life fulfilled"

ABOUT ME

Im a mishmash of so many different tastes! I worked out a few words that my friends would use to describe me being positive, open-minded, energetic and a bit random! Im a lover of music first and foremost and this runs from rock hip hop to trance/electro/breaks and dnb. I love bringing people together in social gatherings of whatever form as i get a kick out of seeing my different friends get on. I love good food, good wine, off the wall comedy (The office is a classic), spiritual development (Eckhart Tohl f-ing legend!), creative people, a good story teller, politics, and drinking beers in the sun (my favourite pastime). I also enjoy volunteering which i did for 4 months building houses in Nicaragua with the occassional days surfing on my days off. Snowboarding in Austria last season- unbelievable! I also get into the gym (yeah yeah im a skinny bastard i know!).Im Australian and was living in London for three years after an extensive year of travelling and volunteering through latin america. Ive now moved back to Sydney and am ready to repay the hospitality that I received on my travels.During my travels in Latin America I met some AMAZING people through CS and I want to host!

PHILOSOPHY

"When and how you die is not important, its why and how you lived that is."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I rode some couches in South America and now want to host here in London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My life seemed to be one permanent couchsurf in one way or another from the time I was 17 when I moved out of home and started travelling. Between my travels and studying in another city in Australia for 3 years my friends provided a much needed couch, bed or even room for me to ride for many a night. I started with CS and HC in latin america.

Interests

Travelling, snowboarding, exercise, trying new things, meeting cool and wacky people, cooking, speaking Spanish, the unusual, a good book, latino culture, looking after the environment, comedy movies like anchor man, learning, partying, a night dancing like a nut to electronic music (breaks/electro/trance/dnb...), rock and hip hop. Sunsets.
