About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take advantage of the coincidences in my life.

ABOUT ME

Well the only thing that bothers me is the clock, i dream of a place free of time. I'm insatiably curious and i can be very random. I've also been told i think too much manifesting many a ponderous moment, but on the outside i'm a really easy going typical Aussie bloke. I love meeting people and i've got the travel bug really bad, "I'M GONNA SEE THE WORLD" bet you've all said that before, so i'm a sheep who isn't. I'm a real dreamer, to combat this anti-societal behaviour i have an ever evolving ten year plan which kind of keeps me on track. If you still want a better idea of who i am then take your shoe's off and find some really soft grass, look to the sky and spin.

PHILOSOPHY

Look to the sun and let your shadows fall behind.
Home is in the horizon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel the world preaching of this amazing concept recruiting as many people as i can and promising everyone i meet that when i finally finish being lost in eternal transit that there will be a couch for anyone who's game.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well i'm home now back in Oz trying to re-adjust to mediocrity and it's not easy, travelling has changed me forever, i managed to survive 4yrs abroad the last time i left these sunny shores, i have a wealth of stories and beautiful memories but not a penny to my name and if i had the chance to do it again i wouldn't change a thing, thankyou couchsurfing.com, couldn't have done it without you. Stay tuned for my next adventure in 2yrs time, hello Argentina yeow......

Interests

All forms of Art, fire danceing, people, experiences (good/bad), universal philosophies (but i'm no preacher), cultures, extreme sports, learning, "me", women (what guy isn't), errr jeese what else???? theatre, all creatures great and small (i'll cuddle any dog), pretty much everything interests me even knitting it's just so damn hard.
