I am a chiropractor from Australia.

I love to be outdoors, particularly spending the day at the beach or hiking, but also love reading. I'm definitely a book nerd and would rather read a book than watch TV. I love to go out socialising and dancing (especially after a little bit of the liquid courage) or have chats with wine.

My saying in life is: it's a flash of light between the womb and the tomb so fucking enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to expose myself to new cultures and new experiences. I have had plenty of friends, and friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends come stay with me when I was in Sydney, and absolutely loved it. I think it is a brilliant idea. I want to be involved in a global community that transcends political and cultural differences. I want to make friends. And I want to teach myself that the fear is rarely equal the danger.
