Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hmmm dont know if I have a mission but I do definitely have an incredible urge to continuously seek obscure adventures which are considered to be polar opposites from the life back home.
ABOUT ME
Well I havent used this account and it's amusing to see how silly my description of myself was back then. All there is to know is that I have a real interest in people and how they tick. I love a deep discussion as much as I love to let loose and have a great time on unknown adventures.
I am not shy. Through my travels I am lucky to have had some interesting events occur. i have met some amazing people which has really developed my character.
i rely on meeting like minded people who arent afraid to speak their mind. I love hearing peoples philosophies and sharing mine. I have had quite an experience in many different roles in my life but not one defines me as a person. I am what I am. End rant
PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy has changed dramatically over the last few years. I guess thats a coming of age. At 21, you are not yourself. You know nothing. I still know nothing but I'm definitely more grounded with myself at this point.
My philosophy is simple. i believe in a Karmic value to everything we do. I believe in the existence of one consciousness and we have a relative effect on each other. The decisions we make shape our world as one.
i really try do whatever feels right with me while trying not to hurt others. I believe that we can truly survive amazing things as humans and our goals essentially is to get to a state of enlightenment. Too much? haha
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My participation has been average in the last 2 years. I guess I have done a lot of couchsurfing outside of this network.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hmm ever since I have left home I guess when I was 18. Have crashed on floors, couches, properties. The same hospitality has also been given. There is always a place to stay for fellow travellers and friends. Even if Im not at home!
Interests
Oh wow, what a question. Really my interests lie in meeting other creatives and travellers. As common as that sounds its really where my interest leaves me. I hope to one day support a creative collective in art and design.
I also have a strong interest with indigenous cultures around the world. They spark my curiosity like nothing else. That and natural therapies and nutrition. Broad enough? haha
- arts
- design
- volunteering
Music, Movies, and Books
Aghh too much to list.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hmmm well I have seen some really amazing things but I would have to note the most recent amazing experience. I was volunteering in an Aboriginal community recently in Central Australia. There was no one event that I want to list, but just recognition of the people that I worked with. Seeing what the true meaning of selflessness is in what can be sometimes considered as dire situations.

I might leave this one for now. Going through a bit of a development myself so would rather leave this for now.
