About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel to the fullest while I have the opportunity, and to make as many friends as possible as I go, because perhaps the best part for me about travel is the people you meet along the way.

ABOUT ME

A large part of my travel up until now has consisted of wwoofing, and various volunteer activities. I love agriculture, and spend most of my time away from cities, but do enjoy getting to know all kinds of places.

I play a lot of guitar, and have had some good sessions playing with various people I meet on the road.

Back home, I spend my free time driving around & camping, just trying to enjoy things however I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy sharing with the people I meet, and learning from them. I think there are many good opportunities to come from things like couchsurfing, and want to contribute to the positivity that comes with these.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always try to wear a genuine smile, and work hard to make things easier for those around me. When everyone gets together in that way, everyone is happy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am pretty new to the world of couchsurfing, but have travelled a fair bit through similar things like workaway, and wwoofing, both volunteer organizations.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy many kinds of music. Growing up I liked the heavier side of things, but have since opened up to a range of styles, including house, electronic, classical (play classical guitar), indie, soft rock, even a bit of jazz. If I had to say, death cab is my favourite band - can always enjoy them no matter where I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For six months I lived in the south of chile, which was my first real solo voyage. It opened my eyes to the wonderful global community of people that exists out there. That, and the views from atop mountains and volcanoes were incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

A relaxed philosophy, based on being conscious of and taking responsibility for one's actions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a positive presence, and like to cook and hang out. I'm also pretty tidy, so we can keep the place in good order
