About Me

*Fully Vaccinated*

CURRENT MISSION

To tell great stories, make a difference, and live a global adventure.

ABOUT ME
I'm a media producer and all round creative. I've been fortunate to have travelled pretty extensively. I'm very enthusiastic and up for an adventure at any opportunity.
I've met some amazing couch surfers over the years , many of which became my close friends who I count as some of the wisest, most worldly and generous people I know.

PHILOSOPHY
There's something very special about the generosity of spirit and openness of the Couchsurfing community. I've found when I come from a place of being of service to others and open to discovering whole new things about the people around me, I am blown away by who people are.
I want to meet more of you out there. More adventurers, explorers, wise souls, pilgrims, and fun and unique people.
