About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On my way to New Zealand!

ABOUT ME

Travel addict. I've found I can't stay in one place too long. I love meeting new people and doing anything outdoors. I work as an outdoors instructor teaching mostly kids, climbing, kayaking, mountaineering, survival and from time to time skiing in Austria...

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone says life is short, so I'm going to try and fill it with as many experiences as possible, and the more people I meet along the way, the more experiences I'll have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can't host at the moment, but love to meet people anywhere and everywhere when travelling. Even meeting up for a drink and just chatting to someone new is something I really enjoy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with an awesome person my first night in the states, he even picked me up from the airport and took me to a party. A great way of having a more local time than in hostels.I haven't done much else through CS, but thinking about it I've stayed on a lot of Couches all over the place, most of the time with people I've just met.

Interests

I love chilling out and chatting to interesting people. Meeting someone new is a great way to spend time. But I was a student so I do love going out at night as well.
Aside from that, Climbing, Hiking, Camping, Canoeing, Skiing, mix that with photography and I'm in heaven. I will generally giving anything outdoors a try..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me it's really become about my work. I love the look on the students faces when we make it to the top of a mountain for example, or when they've just finished the 5 day jungle trek. Those moments come to mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok so I did Civil Engineering, but don't expect me to be able to tell you anything about that. I love the outdoors so if some one wants to give skiing climbing or canoeing a go then I'd be happy to help.
