About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my long trip, get home and tell my family how much I love them, host as many people as I can to feel the travel vibe again whilst I am working

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back but have a lot of energy. I get on well with everyone and like to be surrounded by friends. Friendly, funny and very sociable and outgoing.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want, what makes you happy - One day I want to own my own business, not work for someone else, be my own boss

Give and take, pay it forward - don't do things expecting return and don't return the favour expecting reward. Good things happen things good people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a few times and loved it, looking to do more
Hosting as much as possible when I am home

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing, loved the people and what they were able to give me in terms of experience. Makes me want to do it so much more when I return

Interests

Sports of any kind, water, beach, extreme
Reading (recently)
Meeting new people
Socialising anywhere, park, pub or hostels
Music of any kind, recently discovered country and it is interesting!
The great outdoors, the open road. Beautiful scenery and lookouts
New experiences, love to try something for the first time I am always looking for it. Literally cannot be more excited than doing something fresh and new

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most comedies, actions but love a good film that makes you think. Some TV series like Suits, Sherlock and the classics Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad always do the trick.
I am an easy going music fan, a nice chilled playlist is needed every now and then.
Crime thrillers account for most of what I read; from Sherlock Holmes to more current books. Army/action novels being the focus.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled South East Asia and experienced their culture and food
East coast of Australia surfing etc
New Zealand soaking in the scenery, making solid mates and getting a bigger adrenaline boost than I ever will again
South America and working in Rio for the World Cup. Central America for 5 months climbing volcanos and boarding down them! Surfing both coasts

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach very useless facts that will probably help you win many pub quizzes. Common sense is my forté. Know all the tips and tricks to get what you deserve, loopholes and how to not get scammed.

Want to learn guitar or sax. Many other skills I can't name them all, knots, salsa and how to build things with my hands

Share: everything. If I have something, anyone is welcome to at least half of it. Don't want to eat, drink, watch a movie or anything alone do you?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Safe place to stay, food and drink, local knowledge and taking you around where I like to go and where you might like. Plenty of friends to meet and contacts in the city if you ever need them
