About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life with my family in Melbourne and discover the rest of the world when I can.

ABOUT ME

Open-minded. Always ready to try something new. Loves interacting with odd and interesting peoples. Love a drink and a sing-along. Great cook. Big movie fiend.

PHILOSOPHY

Hard to put into words, but "it is what it is", is a good start.

Extremely non-judgmental. Experience and spirit take precedence over thoughts and words.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First heard about CS whilst visiting a friend in Darwin who had 12 people surfing at his place. Sounded amazing. Had to get involved.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 2 years living in Darwin and traveling the top end of Australia. Opened my eyes to lots of interesting people and experiences. Got caught in the middle of a tropical cyclone. Was beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I offer a vast knowledge of movie references, quotes and trivia.

Love a good chat about the big questions, can offer interesting viewpoints and also open to new ideas.

Joe can teach meditation.
