CURRENT MISSION

To exhaust Argentina's supply of quality red wine, and to improve my air guitar skills.

ABOUT ME

I'm a travel junkie, especially to Latin America. I'm a geek: I studied Comp Sci at university, and I've worked for several years as a web developer. I enjoy recreational sports such as skiing, cycling, canoeing, and hiking. If you play any of my favourite rock music, be warned: I will sing along, and I will shamelessly perform a lame air guitar solo during the riff bits. People tell me I have a great smile. And hey, I do smile a lot, because life's too short to have a glum look on your face.

PHILOSOPHY

Have faith that you're in this world for a reason. You may not know what your purpose in life is yet. I sure as hell don't know mine yet. But be strong, and be patient. Be assured that every choice you make matters, and that nothing in life happens by chance. Always grow, always lend a helping hand, and always remember to enjoy this day as if it were your last!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I've participated mainly in the social events of the Mendoza CS group, as this is my first introduction to the world of CS. Muchos asados, muchas fiestas!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Pretty new to CS so far. I've been renting a room here in Mendoza, in the apartment of a CSer. We've had a few folks stay on the couch here. I haven't personally hosted any CSers yet, but I hope to do so when I go back to Australia.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The craziest and the hardest thing I've done in my life - climbed a 6,000m mountain (Huayna Potosí, in Bolivia). It was frikkin tough, but I got to the top! And it was 100% worth the effort.
