About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the real South America

ABOUT ME

I'm just a chilled out, laid back guy. I love to have fun in all its forms and I'm always up for new experiences. I believe life's about people and I think everyone has something to offer and is intelligent in their own way. I bask in good times and learn from the bad times, so life's always good. In case you couldn't tell - I'm an eternal optimist.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is a short memory

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan to couchsurf my way around South America and write amusing stories of my adventures to let everyone know on what a cool idea this. Hopefully when I get back to Sydney I'll be able to return the favour to other travellers.

Interests

I love to travel. You get to meet fascinating people from different cultures, eat exotic foods, have bizarre experiences and develop a greater appreciation of who you are and what you have.

I love the outdoors too! Social sports, body surfing, snowboarding, skydiving, camping, whatever, especially if I haven't done it before.

Teach, Learn, Share

Biofeedback is a method that teaches you to control autonomic body functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure and skin temperature. We can control any aspect of our body, we just need to learn how.
