About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go crazy and visit some countries off the tourist trail

ABOUT ME

Studying at the moment but I am hoping to do a heap of travel after university and right now I am in Spain for a year break in between uni. Just want to enjoy life, meet all sorts of people, learn as many languages as I can and be culturally shocked a few times...I'm hoping other like minded people can show me around their home town or city and give me a hands on experience of what it is like there and a few surprises are always a good thing....I love spontaneity. Talk to me about anything.......my ears are always open, especially if you want to teach me a few words of your own language, because I want to be able to speak, even if it is a few simple words, to everyone! Football takes up alot of my life and anyone I am always happy to have a long, intelligible chat about world football.

PHILOSOPHY

Money should not control your life, break out of that barrier and value the people around you instead of worshiping material goods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet so far! I'm hoping this area will grow in the future but I have no idea where CS will take me so I will be leaving this area a little bit empty till I have something to be told.....

Interests

Football, cycling, travel, learning new languages, politics, the world in general fascinates so much and I want to travel around so I can be truly satisfied one day (probably wont be..).

  • politics
  • reading
  • traveling
  • cycling
  • soccer
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Hip hop full stop. Australian hip hop is my main love but I love listening to international hip hop as well. Just music from around the world is great (except for pop)... my ears are open to all music!
I mostly like to read books on politics and especially sport, so Morbo (a book on the history of Spanish football) has to rate as one of my favourites.
Well for movies I like to watch mainly foreign language films which are always on TV (love you SBS TV) so I suppose city of god, y tu mama tambien, I am sure there are various other that I cant remember the names of which I have really enjoyed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

cant remember too clearly anything that has awestruck me, probably when i was in thailand visiting my mums home town (which is a conflict zone) where i was reading the paper about a couple of villages which were recruiting some fighters for their independence cause and loading them with weapons and training them, when i lifted my head up and saw that we were passing right into one of those towns, frightened me a little..
