About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See a bit of the world, make some new friends

ABOUT ME

Im all about new experiences, seeing things a different way, which is why Ive signed up to this site so I can meet people from other parts of the world with different perspectives. I enjoy listening to peoples stories from all parts of their lives and getting to know the real person, sometimes that happens and sometimes that doesn't. The beauty about travel I've found is that you can have a deep conversation with someone you have just met because you both know you may not see each other again.

Let's see if we can make a great memory together.

PHILOSOPHY

If you dont judge others you wont feel judged, try and be a good person there's enough bad in the world.

It's better to give more than you get.

Hard work brings the greatest rewards and satisfaction, I don't expect life to give me everything easy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to just about anything, love a bit of down tempo, Jazz, rock, electronic. I also like a bit hip hop from australia, america, uk, plus a bit of whatever else gets played on good radio stations.

A few standout books for me

Way of the peaceful warrior - Dan Millman

Shantoram - Gregory Roberts

Endurance - story of Ernest Shackleton's trip to Antarctica

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning to solo skydive in Hawaii looking out of the plane and seeing a rainbow in a perfect circle reflecting off the clouds following us.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been around quite a few different types of people in my life and have learned quite a bit, often from being somewhere I don't want to be to know where I do like to be. I don''t know what I'm supposed to write in here, who knows what I could teach you? I haven't met you everyone can probably teach someone something, even if it's something that has been forgotten.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to bring beer/wine, cook or whatever. I don't financially need to couchsurf I just want to as it's a much more authentic way to travel I think.
