About Me

I'm a 22 year old traveler that's been jotting across the globe for the past 2 years almost. I started my journey by doing a years working holiday in Australia (Melbournes my favourite city in the world). I then spent 6 months in Brighton, England working and saving for my next trip to Southeast Asia (Best experience of my life) for 3 months. Which, sadly has just come to end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because as I meantioned on the about me section. My goal in life at this moment in time is to travel, see as many amazing new places as possible, have as many new great experiences as possible and meet new amazing people from all walks of life. I've just finished a trip and needed a new destination that I'd never been to before but could work and possibly save for my next trip.

That place ended up being Amsterdam which I've heard so much good about. I'm heading there on the 4th of Oct and I'm looking to hopefully find open friendly people to meet up with that may know the city and are interested in meeting new people. Also maybe even a host while I sort proper accommodation and work.

Interests

My main interest in life is to travel the world and build myself as a person, meeting people and experiencing life. Once the traveling fase in my life comes to an end or even while I'm still in it my other main interest is business and I consider my future to be in Entrepreneurship which which will take massive amounts of dedication and will be a huge fase in my life. So I'm just enjoying myself at the moment....

Music, Movies, and Books

Music like a bit of everything from Chet Faker, Flume, Tom Misch, Paul Kalkbrenner to the 1975, Artic Monkeys, Kasabian, Jaws, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Drums, The Magician, Above&Beyond, Disclosure, Eric Prydz, The Red Hot Chilly Peppers, The Cribs... Love a bit of techno and deep house as well.

Movies is a bit of a hard one. Inception, Drive, Shutter Island, The Dark Knight, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction...

Books I prefer to read more informative articles and books with information or that make you think instead fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed mount Fansipan in Vietnam the highest mountain in Indochina. So for a moment I was the highest person (with his feet on the ground in) in at least 3 countries (Probably many more but unsure). Which I think is pretty cool!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and Spanish as I'm fluent in both.

I'd love to learn more languages and about people experiences through life. How people perceive life both in their past and in the present. And find it interesting how people's minds work.

I'd love to share stories of my travels from working on Banana Farms in Australia to being one of the last 20 people to ever ride the famous bamboo train in Battambang. I have many stories to tell and would love to hear the stories of others in return.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share experiences, a helping hand, travel advice and contacts, friendly and intellectual conversation.

Also the possibility of returning the favour and being their host in my villa in Spain (which has a private pool btw), dependent of the circumstances and time of year.

I would obviously follow there conditions 100% and be fully open to considering any requests they may have of me in return for them hosting me...
