About Me

CURRENT MISSION

People are as much a part of a trip as the sights, sounds and taste that you experience. Many of us are given a life and the oppourtunity to make decisions don't take this oppourtunity for granted.

ABOUT ME

I naturally don't really like talking about myself but here goes nothing...

I am new to couch surfing, but I've created a profile with an open mind, I seen this as an opportunity to connect with others of a similar mind set from around the world.

I am currently traveling solo around the world for one year before I relocate to the UK. Where I will be based for 1-1.5years in order to see a little bit of europe and also save some money in order to travel a little more.

The trip that I am currently on will take me through South-East Asia, East Africa, the Middle East, South America, Central America, the US and of course Europe.

When I travel I like to soak in as much of the local culture and customs as I can. I typically don't do many touristy things or go where the tourists go.

If you would like to find out more about me, who I am, where I am from, or you would like a clearer picture of me so you can see if your interested in me please feel free to drop me a message.

PHILOSOPHY

YOLO - Many of us are blessed with happy healthy lives don't let the opportunity to do something amazing pass you by. I took the opportunity to travel for a year, what about you?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attend CS events where I can in countries that I am visiting.

Interests

I enjoy the outdoors, I enjoy going out, drinking and socializing, indulging in the social lubricant, surfing, snow boarding, traveling, working out and FOOD(!).

I must admit this is turning into a little bit of a confessional of the things I like to indulge in so while I am at it, sweet things and hanging out with good friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like suspense movies with amazing twists. One movie that has stuck in my mind for ages is the the "devils advocate" I am not sure why maybe because of the combination of my law background and my love for thriller movies I really related to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honesty there are so many that to single out one would by no means do justice to each and everyone of the amazing experiences that I have been blessed with experiencing. So here are the ones that come to mind immediately Shark diving in South Africa, Lion walks in Victoria Falls, bungy jumping in New Zealand, Safari in Kruger, Golden Temple in Amritsar, Table Mountain, 2010 World Cup (1/4 Final and Semi-Final), Indonesian wedding with over 3000ppl, Sky Diving in Wollongong, Sydney to Gong Bike ride (sky bridge is really something special), Half moon party in Koh Phan-agan, Angkor Wat, Taj Mahal, Surfing in Sri Lanka, Chopper ride over Franz Joseph Glacier, Overnight stay on the waters of Milford Sound, everest basecamp trek...
