Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to participate in social change, love my friends, work for planet, and extend myself as a writer. I am gay and welcome queer travellers.
ABOUT ME
I am a passionate and driven lad. I like to explore, expand my horizons, look for the light while dipping toes in the dark, write to the world, and constantly expand my networks of close friends all over the world. I am committed to social change, I am sure the current world structure is sick and unsustainable, but I choose to bath myself in optimism, not negativity.
Despite all those earnest words, I am a light hearted, whimsical lad.
PHILOSOPHY
Every bit of energy we put in the trying to make change for the better is energy well spent...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
i have hosted many people over the years - within and outside of couchsurfing. It is a way I like to live - to engage with people and share experiences, etc. However, if you want a response from me, show me that you have read my profile, and tell me why you want to stay with us in particular. I won't host people who just send generic emails to everyone or who just want a free place to crash. Show me something genuine ABOUT YOU in your letter and you'll get a much better response FROM ME!!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have just traveled through the World and surfed with people in Austin Texas, San Fran, New York - and also throughout Australia. When I was living in Berlin I hosted a few people from a protest camp we had been to, and in New York I met some wonderful people through CS. We host people in Melbourne quite often - and often we end up convincing them to stay in town and remain good friends. This is an important network to me...
