About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live freely and whole-heartedly. To inspire myself and others to live large and live well.

ABOUT ME

Travel, learn and grow - all three are intertwined and complete each other. I've spent a lot of my twenties traveling the world, being inspired by each and every culture. Health of the mind, body and soul is key and I love to further expand my mind in these areas.
Always down for meeting new people, learning new things and having a laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

To explore myself and the world we live in. In a couple of short words - "carpe diam" and "not all those who wander are lost"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being overseas, I've realised how important it is to help travellers out in any way possible, and how much it's appreciated. So this is the least I can do :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met up with some awesome, fun and wacky people through CS. Honestly without CS my time in Japan could have been dull. Have only hosted one person so far as I'm quite busy, but that one experience was an eye opener, in a good way. I believe CS is the best and more importantly, the quickest way to experience the local culture

Interests

Snowboarding, surfing, skating, meeting new people, traveling, live music, hanging out with mates, nature, the outdoors, sunrises/sunsets and just mother nature in general!

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much all genres of music are good for me. Hip hop, rock, indie, funk, electro, reggae...and any groovy beat in between!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Total solar eclipse in the desert in outback Australia in 2001...one of the most amazing things I think I will ever see in my life ...it help put things into perspective for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I find (imo) that traveling around the world is best done with minimal plans. Have some destinations in mind and then just go with the wind. Once you head to each location you often meet locals that direct you to some local hot spots that you might not have known about....Happy traveling!
