Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finally living the dream of moving to Europe to learn from the best.
ABOUT ME
Hey everyone! I used to be on CS alot (here http://tinyurl.com/ndfnyen) and then sadly fell out of it because I had nowhere to host at the time once I came back to Aus. I'm a chef, I love to travel and see the world (as if that's not obvious on here :P), cook, eat, drink and meet new people...hence I spend most of my time travelling doing just that! If you like to eat and drink quality stuff all day then I think we'll get along well. Im also really active, love getting in the outdoors and hiking, rockclimbing and other adventure sports!
PHILOSOPHY
Wretched excess is just barely enough!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I used to Surf alot in Europe and was a bit of a part of the Melbourne CS community for a while and am hoping to get back into it now Im back in Europe. And maybe even start hosting a bit more when I settle down somewhere.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This is my new CS page, my old one is here http://tinyurl.com/ndfnyen , but I cant access it anymore as its from the old CS. I used to love this site and it was the best help in visiting Europe last time I came backpacking! Then I sadly fell off it when I had nowhere to host back in Aus. But I want to get back into this awesome community and start surfing and hosting again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Visited el Bulli, the year before it closed, in a whirlwind trip to Spain in 2009, but thats a long story.
Teach, Learn, Share
Anyone with something to teach/who wants to learn and share
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share the thing I love the most in this world, cooking and food, I love cook, especially to get to know local foods and ingredients and to show people things from other parts of the world they might not know. I'm always up for a cook-up with friends and hosts, and more than willing to share a few cool beverages.
I'm a social person but am happy to keep to myself and respect my hosts space and time and am just happy to get to share their little slice of the world.
