CURRENT MISSION

To find the radness, where ever it may be

ABOUT ME

Don't believe half the shit I say :)

I am a massive piss taker (joker). Even my good mates can't tell when I am not being serious.

Admittedly I am rather shy, breaking the ice is the hardest thing for me, but after that you can't really shut me up. Funnily enough I don't mind jumping up and having a go at thinks like karaoke, and dressing up in mad clothes for a laugh. I also think op-shops are the best place ever to get clothes.

I have pulled up stumps from Sydney, Australia and I have headed out on my backpacking adventures. I have somehow convinced the good people of Canada to grant me a two year work visa so I am off there for two years.

I have been ski bumming in Fernie for the past year and a half, and have been thoroughly sucked into the Fernie bubble.

I have found my feet now back in the Antipodes, and have moved from sydney, to wollongong and now live in lovely Adelaide, my girlfriend got transferred here for work so here i am.

PHILOSOPHY

Stress less and you will live longer.

That and if you take like too seriously you are never going to have fun.

That and you never get lost, you have an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Crash on peoples couches, let people crash on my couch

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met a few awesome Couch Surfers in Rotterdam when there was a street festival on, had beers and an awesome night.

I also kinda not stayed with a bloke in Copenhagen (short notice, I was already booked into a hostel but we hung round any way) as well who went out of his way to show me round and take me to the rad parties.

I also had the pleasure of hosting a young ski bum from the US when he was coming up through Fernie on a ski trip, I loved being able to show him "my" mountain and my adopted home.

Interests

I am a total gig pig. I love nothing more than to head out to awesome indie gigs (and others) where ever I am. I just love the music. Which leads me to being a bit of a black skinny jean wearing hipster wanker. Oh, and you can't beat the camping music festivals either, particularly then they are wet and muddy.

Saying that I also love getting right out of the cities and into the bush. Hiking, bushwalking, mountain biking, skiing, even a bit of fishing and hunting.
