Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel through Russia and explore how it really is, not how it is portrayed back home. Ever since I was a boy growing up listening to my fathers travel stories I've had to see it for myself.
ABOUT ME
I have a thirst for knowledge and understanding, why are things the way they are. This is why I fit with engineering but also this curiosity gives rise to inspiration where I have to write, talk about the world.
PHILOSOPHY
Think about it and then do it. Don't just think!
The best people to meet are the ones that can bring out the best in you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have just joined as some people I met reccomended it very highly. I thought I'd join. When I get back to Oz I would love to have someone stay and show them the things that are great about where I live and I don't mean the opera house. Seeing a place through the eyes of someone who has an inherent understanding of the place can only be a good thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went to Africa for 6 months volunteering and traveling. It was the most amazing thing I've done.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm good with my hands and understanding how stuff works, i get great satisfaction from fixing things. For me its like a thearapy. Learning, well I have only really recently started learning in a formal sense again when I started to try to pick up russian. But everyday is a lesson.
