Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Give back to the couchsurfing community now that I am back home in Sydney.
ABOUT ME
I am a down to earth aussie guy. Love to meet new people and form new friendships regardless of the distances or culture differences involved. I have just returned from 10 months travelling to Europe and East Timor.
If you are wondering if I would like to meet you, odds are YES! Everyone has their story to tell and I would love to hear yours.
PHILOSOPHY
What is the point of living, if you can't feel alive? Yes it was said in James Bond... but I think there is a nugget of truth in it.
I believe in Honour, Integrity, Selflessness and Compassion.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My couch will always be available when I am not travelling and when I am not away for work! And if I am surfing with you then I will always be willing to give you a smile, a plush koala and countless laughs.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Opening up your home to someone is an incredibly personal decision and being able to do that says something about you as a person I feel.
I have had nothing but good experiences with it so far, and CS is a great way to get involved with people and the places you visit rather then just sightseeing. Because of CS I have tried snails at a genuine Parisian restaurant, had parties and met wonderful new friends as well as received countless memories that will last a lifetime.
Interests
Reading, Films, Flying, Computers. Naturally travel is a pretty important interest common amongst all of us here.
Learning languages is a big one, currently working on French! It is a shame that us born and bred Aussies usually only speak English.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think my first solo flight (fixed wing & helo) was one of my personal achievements that I relish. Learning to fly is one of the greatest experiences, and this is perfectly summed up in DaVinci's quote "your head will be turned forever skyward" (google it ;)
Plus, Stonehenge blew my mind :)
It is also true what they say about not having to go out and search for adventure in Paris... it will most definitely find you. One of the many reasons I am in love with the city of light.
Teach, Learn, Share
This is an awesome idea lol. I would be more then happy to provide any information on Australia, the English language, flying in general and also specifically on helicopters. I am also a great source of random facts and figures. More importantly I can teach you how to look at life in a way where the glass is always half full! Life is a gift, and I always love impacting peoples moods and views in a positive way to get them to enjoy that gift!
