About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently my biggest objective is to have the greatest adventure I've ever had while backpacking through the continent of Australia

ABOUT ME

I'm travelling around Australia with the objective to avoid staying in one place for longer than I need or really want to. During this journey I wish to get to know many different sides of life by working briefly in fields of work that a town-boy like me has not had a chance to work in. Being motivated by knowledge rather than money, and knowing how little I need to preserve, gives me a freedom to make decisions that really make me happy.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not about who you want to be. It's about what you want to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, my account on CS is about half an hour old so I haven't really had a chance to make any contributions to this community. However, when the upcoming years of travelling come to an end for me, I will start actively couching people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no first-hand experience but I've heard a lot from friends and acquaintances of mine.

Interests

Meeting interesting and/or talented people, noticing the small things in life, puns, learning, new artists on the radio, not caring too much about the future, wildlife, playing with kids, being in present, piano, grilling, TV series (my current favorite is "The Vikings"), constructing speeches, putting myself out from my comfort-zone, contributing to people around me, pressing the snooze button, seeing people for who they could be instead of who they are, sauna, music festivals and concerts, tastes, maybe you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Must be lucid dreaming.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a master procrastinator, I can sleep on all 4 sides, walk down the stairs in a way which makes me look as if I was sliding, dance as if nobody was watching (you will be creeped out if you ask me to do that).
If you wish to know more about these things, then I'm the man.
