About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Where to next...?

ABOUT ME

Currently travelling the world. Love travel and recently gave up my job to take on an exciting adventure. Travelling across South America, Japan and South East Asia and headed for Melbourne for a new challenge there. Trip has been about pushing myself whether it be with learning new languages, skills or simply trying out things I have never done before like treks, mountain climbs... etc.

PHILOSOPHY

How to say this without sounding lame? Life is for living and I´m looking for people to share it with

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate but I´m just getting started here! Currently travelling so unable to host, but looking to meet great people happy to show me the finest their places have to offer. I´ll be more than happy to reciprocate when I settle. Love meeting new people, particularly those with a love for travel and a passion for their locality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to this site but plenty of travel experience and looking to build up an active profile. I´m on a round the world trip and looking to meet plenty of great people on it. Hanging out with locals and/or staying with them has been one of the highlights of this trip. From my perspective it is has been a fantastic insight into a place, while many locals have realised again why they love where they live.
