About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To reignite the passion for travel by exploring new cultures and and ways of life.

ABOUT ME

I love learning new things, connecting with others, conversations, and having a drink and a laugh with friends.
I like to follow my interest so I have done a little bit of everything, from Bar Tending to being an Engineer, from selling Tesla's to Teaching Business. I enjoy the creative process of taking an idea and trying to make it a reality. I am also big into habits and am always very interested in peoples personal philosophies and habits for happiness and living a full life. If you have any interesting habits, routines or words of wisdom please share them with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I feel honored to be apart of an international community of people who share the values of curiosity, respect, kindness and are willing to place their trust in complete strangers to create new and lasting bonds of friendship. I believe that there is so much to be gained from these experiences for both the surfer and the host and plan to continue surfing and hosting for many years to come.

I originally started by hosting a couple of surfers in Brisbane, then switched it up by surfing my way through parts of Europe. Being back in Australia I have enjoyed hosting more surfers and am now looking forward to exploring Japan

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both surfed and hosted and have had nothing but positive experiences and made many new friends.
I have had surfers from all over the world stay with me and have enjoyed sharing my city and the Australian way of life with them. As a surfer I have stayed with hosts in Edinburgh, Paris and Berlin. On each occasion I have felt nothing but welcomed and have made some life long friends, all of which I hope to revisit some day in the future. I look forward to meeting you, spending the time to get to know you and your way of life, and creating lasting friendships that will stretch throughout the years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caught all original 151 pokemon ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach business management and have helped launched several startups. I have also briefly worked for Tesla, so if you have any business ideas you want to discuss or need advice on the best way to get the idea off the ground, then I am your man.

I can also teach you many fun card games that we can play together (including some drinking games if that is your thing).

I would love to learn more languages, even if it is just the basics like hello, goodbye and thank you, anything you could teach me is greatly appreciated.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Firstly, I am a pretty good cook and would be happy to make a you meal or two.

Secondly, I can also help you to improve your English if you want to practice with a native speaker.

Finally I can share with you the Australian way of life and sense of humor.
