CURRENT MISSION

I work for myself freelancing as a talent manager and social media strategist in the fields of live music and film. I currently live in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

ABOUT ME

Passionate. Deep. Charismatic. Strong. Motivated. Self-Actualized. Intrigued by life and its unraveling intricacies. In love with people and the notion of subjectivity stemming from personal experience. Existentialist seeking charm, aura and value. Driven to uncover the beauty in everything and everyone. Intellectual. Seek to please, make others smile. Open-minded. Forever inclined to excel - if not in practice, at least in mind. Artistic with lack of motivation. Photographer/capturer of moments and memories. Ambitious and determined: I have everything in my power to make my goals and dreams come true. Fulfilled by random acts of kindness.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm positive and open-minded. I love and accept people for who they are, I enjoy that we all have such intricate perceptions and experiences. I am happy, inspired, motivational and truly believe that positive energy and insight can be contagious. I am on a mission to make something of myself - I want to live my life applying myself to my passions and being involved in causes that are important to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to experience community life by staying with someone who knows and lives in the cities first-hand.
I'm interested in people and culture - I want to share my world of experiences with other open-minded individuals who are also curious about the world and all the people in it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I backpacked through Europe in 2009 and used CouchSurfing quite a bit. I hosted a few different people at my home in Melbourne in 2010 before becoming an Airbnb host for a year in 2011.
