About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To pause life

ABOUT ME

I'd rather someone else describe me... but:
I'm friendly and outgoing. I'm a pretty social person, which is reflected in my lifestyle. I'm not rich (spent most of my money travelling), don't indulge in eating out at fancy restraunts, and usually drink before clubs ect to save money (trying to be as honest as possible). With that said, I still go out alot, enjoy life and spend money if I want to do something, I've just found most good things in life can't be bought. I guess fancy food and expensive cocktails arn't yet my thing...

PHILOSOPHY

Open to all people regardless of race or sex. Right now I believe life is about acquiring experience and knowledge, as well as maintaining meaninful people in your life. Life should be enjoyable, but through hardship comes character building, so I like to throw myself in the deep end when travelling.
If you want me to read your message and reply - put abcd in the 1st paragraph... don't like doing this but getting way to many requests from people who clearly havn't properly viewed my profile and are just looking to save on accomodation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted CS's a few times - its great and fun. The best aspect of travelling is meeting the local people - so this ensures i keep meeting people regardless of whether im travelling or not

Interests

My passions in life include;
The outdoors! I love the beach, as well as hiking. Since living in Manly surfing every weekend and loving it.
Partying! I like bars, clubs, house parties.
People! I like meeting down-to-earth people who share similar interests to me.
I guess I love travelling because it encompasses the outdoors, people and partying.

I also enjoy Sport. I play tennis, Australian Footbal (AFL), swim, surf.

Music, Movies, and Books

When by myself I love progressive rock; dream theater, pain of salvation, symphony X. Also Chilli peppers, radiohead. I also read. Don't know why any of this information would help you decide on whether to stay at me or not so I won't say anymore. Also, if I say it all what will we have to talk about?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a few days and nights in an incredibly remote jungle in Laos - living 30 meters above the canopy in a treehouse! Was one of the highlights of my travels to date. If your going to laos google "Gibbon Experience", and do it!!!
caution: heard some mixed reports from people who have done it recently, apparently changed, and a hell of a lot more expensive than 5 years ago. amazing how quickly things change!
now i'd recommend sri lanka

Teach, Learn, Share
