About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make someone, somewhere smile & have the same returned.

ABOUT ME

Fun, spontaneous, ambitious, big time dreamer & a little crazy. I love the unknown and pushing myself and my limits. I crave the 'new' and moments that come only once in a lifetime. The grass is always greener somewhere else and I am constantly seeking adventure, but not without sitting for a while and enjoying what I find along the way, the search is never over nor far from beginning. I am after the world and hope to meet a bunch of people on the way to share & bare my soul with and learn and grow

PHILOSOPHY

Greet each day with your eyes open to beauty; your mind open to change & your heart open to love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm want to share my life with people who are open minded and open hearted.

To see how you live, the best parts of your city - I hope to be treated to the real parts not the tourist traps.

I'll give the same in return back at my home in Australia.

I'm currently backpacking to embark across Europe, my first visit to this part of the world & im looking for amazing people to share that trip with a few days at a time. I want to meet locals, learn the best places to eat, dance and see in your city from the eyes of a local, hopefully explore with you and get to know you. I'm down for good people, good vibes and looking to cross paths with the souls that will make this trip & create lasting memories I'll talk about for the rest of my life. On a side note I can party just as hard as I can sit quietly with bottle of water watching the sunset with you, down for it all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but cant wait to start!

Interests

Hiking, surfing, adventuring in general. The sun, food, travels I really enjoy the simple things in life, those little moments you capture when you step back, stop and take a look at the world that surrounds you... Everyones got a story to tell, that's what makes travelling so amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music is varied depending on my mood, anything with a melody and rhythm and bass. Generally I love john butler, Xavier Rudd, system of a down, tash sultana, bonobo, bon iver, mokolours, tool, mike love, bob Marley, gramatic, l'orange, Kendrick Lamar, the internet.. the list goes on..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found myself in Hong Kong, alone after a 2 week stint in china on business.. I took myself to top of the worlds tallest sky bar OZONE & Just sat and smiled to myself for a good 20 minutes (no joke) while drinking my $37 dollar martini (so expensive) In complete awe of the city.. this is my most recent memory and an amazing one for me. For those who haven't been to Hong Kong I suggest you go, I feel it's like the Asian equivalent of New York

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to teach kindness and to live with an open heart and integrity to those I meet. To teach how to leave your past judgement and look into others and not be scared of each other.

To learn the above & new languages and new ways of living from the places I go and the people I spend my time with.

To share good food, good wine & new memories with old and new faces along the way.. to share laughter

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you let me stay, I'll provide you with endless chit chat (if you want it) hopefully some good laughs, an Aussie accent and if you have a home coffee machine I will make you a mean cup of coffee in the morning in return for your hospitality.. Also I cook so of your hungry I can fix that :)
