Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live your dreams, visit the places you've always wanted to go, eat the food you crave and surround yourself with the people you love and the everthing else will follow!
ABOUT ME
Fun, full of energy and always in search of an adventure...For me travelling is about seeing the sights by day,eating the food, meeting the people and partying atnight; all 4 things combined is travelling! Travelling has enabled me to experience so many amazing things, make so many wonderful friends around the world and of course it has helped me to learn grammatically incorrect French and Spanish. I have had the chance to work random jobs, from a snowboard instructor to djing at nightclubs in the French Alpes(Val D'Isere). Nothing could have prepared me for such experiences.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpe Diem....Seize the day, seize the moment and do as much as you humanly can on this earth...live life with no regrets. I hope to leave a legacy when I leave this earth.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
By hosting and surfing!!!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Since I started couchsurfing in 2005 I've surfed through Eastern Europe, North America, Japan, Mexico, South America and many more...I've also had the opportunity to host some amazing people!
I absolutely love CS and what it stands for.
I stoked that is gives me the opportunity to gain a little insight into someone's life from another country, who speaks a different language or is cultural completely different is brilliant...thank you to all my hosts and to all the people Ive met through CS that's has helped made travelling such a pleasure and a unique experience...
I've even had hosts who have come to live in Melbourne work for us :)
