About Me

PHILOSOPHY

You have to be in it to win it! (hahahah - cheesy version of carpe diem iguess)

"Every day is a school day" (you learn something every day!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never been "couchsurfing" BUT on my travelling expeditions the fun really starts when you mix with the locals. I did that when I was stranded in Fiji at 18 yrs old! I also did that a bit in Australia (though I was with two other friends). I also was hanging out with thai friemds in thailand for 2/3 months. It is a great feeling when you cross the tourist/ local barrier! When you are with locals you are much safer and time is used more efficiently - you skip the done tourist trails and you get to find some hidden GEMS!

Interests

Capoeira!I love it. I wished I played more and my life has less in it so there could be more capoeira in it!

I love drinking and socialising - "PARTING" (I hate using that term) but I do!
