About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to see as many countries, meet as many people experience as many things possible on this earth.

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing person who loves to travel and meet people. I have a tennis racquet in my hand most of the day and enjoy spending time out in the sun on the court teaching children and adults of all ages the game of tennis. I like to party and will never turn down a drink. Am very laid-back easy going guy who gets along with pretty much anybody. Am interested in meeting people from all different cultures, religions at whatever age am very open-minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, don't endure it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met a guy in Germany at Oktoberfest who travelled around the world for a full year couchsurfing in different countries and he inspired me to check it out and I finally joined up and loved the experiences I've had so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few people at the end of last year and it was great. Getting to show new friends around Brisbane firing up the BBQ and showing them how we live was great. I also surfed when I was in Austria and it was a great experience I can't wait to get out and do it more soon. I haven't been able to host for a while because I have been away a bit and now am back with no couch to share but hopefully in the near future I will be able to surf and host again!

Interests

All sports not just tennis, going to the beach, going for a drink with mates, travelling of course, a bit of karaoke if the mood is right!

Walking to the top of the Gaudi park lookout in Barcelona that overlooks all of Barcelona - AMAZING! Oktoberfest in Munich was unreal!
