Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hitchhike from Sydney to Brisbane and get the real Ozzie experience along the way.
ABOUT ME
I'm always looking for new places to explore, parties to crash and adventure. Planned, or even better, not planned.
I just finished my undergrad degree in aerospace engineering and took 12 months off to travel before going to grad school.
So far, adventure took me to Chile, Bolivia, Canada, Hawaii, USA, Thailand and Malaysia!
I try to live my live to the fullest and have no regrets. Some of my random travels include a 10 day trip to Peru and a long weekend in New York City.
PHILOSOPHY
Only by stepping outside of my own culture, I'll learn what the world is really like. It is also the best way to look back on your own way of living.
Life isn't about the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.
If you do something, do it well.
Work hard, play hard.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Having a beer in an English pub, with my Italian host in the South of France, that is why I'm on CS.
Interests
Using engineering skills to build racecars and rockets.
Scuba diving. It's incredible how much life is to be found on the reefs. Light up one single rock with a torch and you'll find maybe 10 more small living creatures.
