CURRENT MISSION

This is my first time living abroad, and I've caught the travel bug. Hard. Right now all want to do is go further off the beaten track, live like the locals and learn more about this wacky planet we call home.

ABOUT ME

I escaped a life of comfortable mediocrity to see the world at the expense of a certain future. I love the outdoors and doing things in them. My enjoyment of these things seems to increase with the speed at which said things are done. I'm am comfortable travelling alone, but since being abroad, I've met so many awesome, adventurous people that I really want to keep meeting more travellers.

PHILOSOPHY

"We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." - Charles Bukowski

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At present I'm staying with a host family in a very out-of-the-way area. For me to invite people over would mean imposing on my hosts, but they might be willing to accommodate, if you're willing to make the trip up here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, whatsoever. I've just met some couch surfers and found the idea to be intriguing.
