Overview
About Me
I was lucky enough to drop out of university within my first few months and through lots of confusion i decided to follow in my sisters footsteps and go travelling. This decision turned out to be one of the best i have ever made. Since that happened i have been intermittently travelling the world and it has been an eye-opening and enriching experience. I see myself as a traveler, someone who holds a deep desire to always be on the move and i do not wish for this "phase" to end. I believe that life is a gift, an opportunity, and we have to make of it what we truly wish. To have a good life, it takes effort, but its all worth it in the end :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Im on here because like you, i have a love for travel, hey thats already one thing we have in common... im sure there are plenty more :)
Through all my travels i have come to realise that for me, travelling is a little about the places you see and a lot about the people who you meet along the way. I am not just on here for a place to sleep (although that is much appreciated), i am on here because i want to see the place you live in through your eyes, i want to know why you love living where you live so i can feel that love to. Everybody has a place they call home, and to them that place is special and sacred. I hope to be able to show you why my home is so special to me and in return i hope you can also show me why yours is so so special to you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Me and my friend biked down the west coast of the USA, down the coastal road, Hwy 101 from Vancouver to San Fransisco. It was a spontaneous decision, having no bike touring experience, however it was once of the most rewarding, challenging things i have done in my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
Life long learning is something that im passionate about, with the help of each other we can all constantly improve.
