CURRENT MISSION

Be friendly, meet people and see where life takes me.

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old, Australian and always ready for an adventure. I was a mechanical engineer, but after a few years I realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do. So, I sold my possessions and went travelling around South America (a logical solution to my problem). During my travels I found a new home: Santiago, Chile, where I've been living for the last 6 months and working as an English teacher/translator. It's been a great opportunity to meet people and step way outside my comfort zone.

PHILOSOPHY

The most dangerous risk of all is the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to get to know a place is to meet the people that live there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Bolivia, I climbed a 6088m above sea level to see the sunrise from the peak of Huayna Potosi. The altitude almost killed me, but it was worth it! The tops of the other mountains looked like islands in an ocean of clouds. It's the most incredible thing I have ever seen. My camera was frozen solid and I couldn't take a picture of the view, but it doesn't matter, it was incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

If anyone wants to improve their Spanish (or English??), I can teach.
