Overview
About Me
I am always interested in exploration. I love to engage with people from different background and share experiences.
My experiences travelling and working in many places around the world, have taught me a great deal, with regard to what I find important, and have also made me more independent, and adaptable to new environments. I thrive on new experiences and am keen to learn as much as I can in order to inform my later decisions.
CURRENT MISSION
Experience and learn. I am currently working as an Architect in Sydney, surfing on weekends, playing football and exploring my new environment.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couch surfing allows me to travel the way I live. To meet locals in every place, exchange stories and tips and live cheap. Undertaking experiences and building relationships are the most important aspects of my life.
I hope to find my way though different countries while meeting locals, sharing stories and making connections. I would also like to host in my own country.
Interests
I love football, it is a great tool to meet people, exercise and be happy.
Architecture! I am interested in the way that science and creative design come together and inform one another. I'm particularly interested in Civic architecture.
Outdoor activities like hiking, surfing, running, swimming, volleyball, camping, climbing.
I love music, especially blues, slow rock and Indie. I play the guitar on a pretty irregular basis. Times are tough :)
I love to travel and experience new settings, meet new people and get myself out of my comfort zone. I love to push my physical and metal limits. Rough trips are my favorites. Camping over hotel any time of year.
I am interested in cooking, but am not picky with what i eat. Constantly experimenting. I often eat plainly in order to stretch my budget on trips.
I am also interested in Photography, the workings of a camera and the editing of photos.
