About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover the world and experience new cultures, and meet new people

ABOUT ME

Hey all, so I'm not a very loud person, fairly chilled out and easy going. I'm quite adventurous and enjoy lots of outdoor activities, check my interests. I don't drink often, but occasionally enjoy a night out depending if I'm in good company. I have travelled around Europe and Asia,and seen many amazing places, and met many amazing people. Just to clear up my background: I'm part spanish, lebanese, scottish, german, english and danish. But my parents and their parents were born in Australia and I can only speak English...so I'm Aussie.
I'm very low maintenance socially - I'm not fussy, and I don't have high expectations of people. I am very comfortable with my own company and actually like to have time to myself, but enjoy meeting and getting to know other people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe everyone has a conscious of what is right and wrong, and believe everyone should treat each other how they would like to be treated. I hate things which divide humanity like war, racism, prejudice, etc. I like to focus on what unites us and brings us together. I think that travelling the world is one way of appreciating different cultures and people. I hope to live this life to the fullest and not take anything for granted. Life is a gift.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I'm hosted anywhere, I'm more than willing to help with any house chores and I'm not a great cook but I can cut up vegetables pretty well :) no but seriously I can help out with anything that's needed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted by couchsurfers a number of times whilst travelling around Europe. I have had people stay at my house for as long as up to 7 months, but not through couchsurfing. Also I have hosted two couchsurfers, one who hosted me whilst I was in their city.
I really like meeting people whilst travelling and then making further plans together, I think its a great way to get to know people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I look back, I think my life as a whole has been amazing, and I'm so grateful for everyday that I've lived, despite the many unfortunate and bad things that have happened.
But to name a specific thing I did recently which was awesome - snorkeling at night with luminescent plankton in Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

My passion is with electronics, and I have worked as an electronics technician. I enjoy fixing things. I can teach you how computers and just about anything electronic works, and possibly how to fix it. I'm also quite interested in space. I can teach you about any of the things listed in my interests.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are in my city, I can take you to the best places - where there is no publics transport. Unfortunately my city is small and the inner city is quite boring. The best parts are the beaches and hillsides.
