About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Staying in Berlin for a couple of months to hopefully work and learn German! :)

ABOUT ME

Hey guys!!! In a nutshell I'm an adventure seeking, overly active, adrenaline addicted Aussie guy. I love my sports inclusive of Aussie Rules football, sprinting, surfing, skating, snowboarding and slacklining. I love to see new things and participate in new experiences, especially in embracing new cultures when travelling. With all this aside, I'm a very well rounded and down to earth person when I feel like it, and love chilling out and learning new things from the various people I meet just through chatting to them. I thrive off of meeting new people and building relationships with them.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life for new experiences. Hopefully by doing this and improving upon myself through travel, I will have more to offer to the world. Everything and everyone will become better around me as I better myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be heading on a 9 month journey around the globe. I would love the opportunity to meet new people and experience how they live in different parts of the world. Staying in hostels does not give a real sense of what it's like to live somewhere on a day to day basis, so any spare couches or floors would be greatly appreciated! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had several foreigners sleep on my couch in Melbourne in the past, but not through this website. These include French, American, German, French Canadian, Spanish and some Aussie travelers as well. I've learnt much from them, and returned the favor in kind.

Interests

Sports of any kind.
Boarding.
Meeting interesting people.
Travel.
Pursuits that get the blood pumping.

Music, Movies, and Books

Paulo Coelho is my favourite author, a most inspiring novelist.

Pretty all inclusive when it comes to music, but I love Moby, Vampire Weekend and the Wombats to name a few.

Some of my favourite movies are The Intouchables, Pulp Fiction, Step Brothers and Lord of the Rings. My favourite actor without a doubt is Leo DeCaprio, such a boss.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept in a Cambodian family's living room.
Eaten tarantulas, a snake's beating heart and crunchy beetles.
Skateboarded my way through Germany, Amsterdam, France and Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to slide on a skateboard, or how to slackline, or how to rescue someone from the ocean. I would love to learn any skills that would improve my everyday life or the lives of those around me. But ultimately the things I can teach and that I desire to learn at the same time are simply how to be more outgoing, how to make the best out of every situation and how to build lasting relationships with complete strangers.
