CURRENT MISSION

I am currently living and working in Carnarvon Western Australia. I am a big lover of travel and have done so extensively in the past. Backpacking Canada, USA, Europe, South America and Australia. These experiences have given me great joy which means i love sharing stories and proving information to other travelers.

ABOUT ME

My name is Jon and I am a friendly laid back Australian who loves life and travel. I have completed a degree in Sports managementand have managed Gym's and Children development programs. I am now working with the at risk idingenous youth of Australia provindgincentives to come to school and become good productive young men. I have a strong passion for listening and playing music, having played for 5 years. Travelling is a great way to meet new people and couchsurfing is the perefect opportunity. Meeting travelers is my chance to travel while still working.

PHILOSOPHY

My Philosophy is happiness the purpose of life and it doesn't come from any materialistic possessions. Despite this, our society is increasingly striving for these at the expense of our health and well being.
