About Me

ABOUT ME

Amateur Vagabond!

I have quit my job and sold all my earthly possessions and am currently backpacking the world indefinitely - looking for my place in the world.

I'll be travelling for 7 months in this round of travel. Seoul (South Korea), China, Mongolia (Trans-Mongolian Railway), Russia (Trans-Siberian Railway), Ukraine, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria,

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you expect to be treated - and expect the utmost respect and consideration.

Quotes:
Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life (Confucius)

This is my current goal in life, to find what I love to do and stop working and just enjoy life.

If you don't contribute in a positive way to my life then my life will be no worse without you. (Quote author anyone?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed on people's couches but I mostly enjoy attending the fantastic meet-ups. I have met couch surfers in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing), Russia (Kazan, Moscow, St Petersburg, Ekaterinburg), Romania (Bucharest), Estonia (Tallinn)

All of the people I have met have been interesting and friendly and the only draw back is having to leave them behind when I move on after few days :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently was the Total Solar Eclipse which took place in November 2012.

I purchased a van, moved into it and drove up the east coast of Australia to a festival that went for a week for the sole reason of viewing and celebrating the eclipse!

The eclipse itself was the most impressive visual spectacle I have ever seen. The eerie silence that descended over the natural landscape and the 10-15,000 other people who were in awe was an experience I will never forget.
