Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission is to explore and excite, laugh and learn, and then... Do it all again.:-)
ABOUT ME
Personal description? I enjoy a good laugh... i try to see the lighter side of life and never take things too seriously. My friends would say i am trustworthy, open minded and easy to get along with. I started traveling at the end of 2011 spending a couple of months in Tanzania and Kenya with my brother. I then backpacked around south-east Asia for 3 months with Vietnam being my highlight. I have recently finished a second year working and traveling in Australia.
PHILOSOPHY
I intend to live forever - so far, so good ;-)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Inexperienced couchsurfer but I hope to build up a some history for my profile soon.
Interests
Of course I have a passion for traveling, meeting new people from all cultures and backgrounds, learning from them and sharing stories. I have been traveling for around 3 years and I still feel i have so much to see and learn.
At home I enjoy mountain biking and going to the gym. I have tried skiing and rock climbing and enjoy a bit of hiking. I'm keen to try new sports whenever possible.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: The xx, James Brown, Portishead, Chase N Status, Bon Iver, Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Van Morrison, High Contrast, Marvin Gaye, Plan B, The Roling Stones . . . . .
Books: I'm a fan of Bill Bryson, I'm slowing making my way through his collection.
Movies: Although I do enjoy watching films, my cinematic knowledge has been said to be laughable! My friends have given me a large list of films i Should watch. Apparently dirty dancing is a must see!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bought a $300 motorbike and rode from Saigon to Hanoi with a couple of backpackers i met in a bar the night before! One of the best but also one of the most dangerous things i have ever done!
Teach, Learn, Share
What would I like to learn?
I would love to improve my Spanish. I'm currently traveling around Argentina and Chile.
What can I teach?

Whatever is in my backpack... Just not my passport.
