About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To give in completely to the present moment.

ABOUT ME

I appreciate, cherish and understand. I don't take anything for granted (almost always). I make the most of every moment to the greatest extent possible. I'm never bored because life offers infinite options. I breathe oxygen, and music as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Live. Learn. Enjoy. Appreciate. Understand. To be aware of my surroundings. To take in knowledge from anything and everyone, whether it is a plant, a baby, an elderly or a chicken. Knowledge is everywhere and it is our task to discover it. To travel and take in different cultures.

A quote which I really appreciate:
"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child or a garden patch… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – this is to have succeeded." - Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch back in Melbourne, well two in fact, that I can spare for surfers. I have been a member since only April this year, and I have been travelling Europe since then as well, but once I return to Melbourne, I will definitely be a willing host for those who are brave enough to take on the distant trip all the way to Australia.

Couch surfing is an excellent project and I still know many people who don't believe in it or are too afraid to try it. I want to participate further in motivating others to use couch surfing and enhance the adventurous experience that awaits us in the world of travelling, meeting new people and connecting different cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have finally started to gain some experience, and really looking forward to more. When you stay with someone who knows the city, you have the ability to look at it differently to a normal tourist.

Interests

Music, Learning, Reading, Philosophy, Conversing about anything and everything, Photography, Partying, History, our Planet Earth and many many more things that may catch my attention.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Too many artists to name, but I listen to a very broad range of genres and am always open minded to new suggestions. Music is one of the central drives of my motivation.

Movies:
Anything that requires high concentration and leaves me in deep contemplation, but also movies that are simple and really effective. Some of the following have stood out to me:

Pulp Fiction
Amelie
District 9
The Prestige
City of God
Irreversible

Books:
The Outsider
Nineteen Eighty-Four
Power of Now
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Castle
