About Me

Here for a good time, not a long time...

I believe time is most precious commodity we have and therefore I intend on squeezing as many experiences, lessons, people and memories into to it.
Life is to be lived and no one else is going to do it for you, go out and live the life you've imagined, BUT... don't forget to have many laughs along the way.

I am 25, from Melbourne, I Love my life in Australia, however I love experiencing different cultures and different ways of living.
*I thoroughly enjoy good food
*Enjoy deep conversations about space, time, philosophy, psychology, morality, technology, business, innovation and also why the chicken crossed the road.
*I understand that we are predominately creatures of our environment and so I must travel the world to meet new people that have had a very different environment to the one I have had, to gain a better understanding and broader view of LIFE!
*I thought I'd better mention again that I really like delicious food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to go and see the World!

I am doing a 6 month trip before I plan to come back and get stuck into my career.
The reason I travel is not so much to see different tourist attractions, but to meet different people, different ways of life, to learn and to grow.
When my friend told me about couchsurfing.com I thought it is exactly what I would want.
If I go to a new city/town I want to see how the people that live there live, not just wander round like a tourist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped build new homes for people in a rural Cambodian Village, they got somewhere to live but when I saw the smiles on there faces on the last day I realised I got far more out of it than them.
Looking to help other NGO's/Non-Profits help build a better world, if you know of any along my travels please let me know :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn a musical instrument during my travels

I can teach you how to kick an AFL Football.
