CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a cleaner, greener, and happier place! : )

ABOUT ME

My name is Luke. Im an Aries and enjoy long walks along the beach, sunsets and flowers in the spring time!.. I dont like to take life too seriously! I guess im a positive, happy person and love looking for the best side of things..
I love life, traveling, talking to people and learning new things! Im a bit of a greenie, love nature and the environment but not a hippy..
Right now im travelling the world and just really wanting to see new places, meet new people, learn about their life experiences, and hopefully experience some of my own!

PHILOSOPHY

Life's a garden.. Dig it! (Joe Dirt)
I really think that what goes around comes around! And the more you give out the more youre given back from the world.
Lately i have been living with the philosophy and saying "Life's too short" so im trying my best to seize each day! (especially if the sun's shining!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, i really only just heard about this from a couple of guys staying at my last hostel. I havent officially participated in CS yet.. But in Australia I have given plenty of tourists, people ive met and friends ive made a place to stay. And if not, at least shared a drink with them and shown them around. I thank my parents and family for always seeing the best in people and being warm and friendly. They let about 10-12 different exchange students stay with us while i was growing up (From when I was 6 - 19) and alot of them became my "Brothers & Sisters"! I think having this environment made me who i am today..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well there are alot.. and i will more than likely change this soon but the most recent was watching a guy from the U.S and another guy from Iran sharing a "smoke". And just last night i realised that here i was an Australian, in Germany, playing a friendly game of chess and a having a beer with a guy from Japan.. (and neither of us really able to understand eachother) What a great world it has become! I know that my gradparents would be proud..
