About Me

My philosophy for life is 'If you pursue your passion - good things happen'!
So I make people happy for a living, which makes me happy - everybody wins!

I love being my own boss, it gives me freedom to conquer random adventures whenever I want...
Like if I wanted to take a month off to embark upon a Frozen Yogurt tour of Europe, for example. (Yomaro in Düsseldorf, wins hands down!)

I love cooking deliciously healthy feasts, host a bad ass dinner party and will seek out the coolest places to dance where ever I am - even if it means starting it myself!

I'm laid back, always stay positive and have a hunger to learn and experience new fun things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2014 I CouchSurfed around Europe with a friend using his profile and it was the most fun we've had since... sliced bread - so obviously I had to create my own profile for some solo adventuring!

I travelled to São Paulo at the end of June 2015 - my travel buddy cancelled, but I had already booked my flight so CouchSurfing rescued my adventure and I had the most fun ever imaginable making friends with so many lovely people through this beautiful community!

Since then I've met so many cool people and made great friends around the globe through this community whether hosting, being hosted or just meeting up to explore and adventure.

I love hanging out with locals, learning about their culture, having a laugh and often end up investigating things in their own city that neither of us had experienced before!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I'm a drummer, I like to hit things... usually in rhythm and I appreciate music that I can really feel and move to - funk, old school hip hop, reggae, soul, blues, rock, jazz, mambo, ska and more...

Movies - I like films that make me think or laugh and appreciate great cinematography both old and new!

Books - I enjoy learning about psychology, business, entrepreneurship and magic!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I became a professional magician before leaving school - it's my job to be amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

That's how I live my life ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

The feeling of being astounded by magic and maybe an ability to bust out some breakdance moves like a bad ass...
