CURRENT MISSION

To go outside my comfort level and learn about myself and others.

ABOUT ME

I don't really like talking about myself. Why? I'm much more interested in other people. I'm a people watcher, the guy sitting in the corner with a book held up but not reading, watching you from across the room, trying to imagine how you think and who you are. But don't worry, I'm not creepy. I'm just fascinated by people!
I suppose that means I'm shy, right? It's true, but somehow I manage to get up and play guitar infront of people. I'm much more comfortable in a small group of friends, talking over beer, wine or coffee.

Other than that, I write, take photos and make music. I guess that goes with being fascinated with people. That all goes into my writing. No, I'm not published or 'known'. Probably never will be. But I love to write anyway.

Oh, and travel, I love to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for the sweet and fulfilling moments in life. Things that involve the mind and can prove a challenge. Even the bad times I can look back on and learn from.

I don't think anyone should take themselves too seriously in life. I'm not a part of the rat race, I am not on a quest to have enough $ to own a convertible or the latest gadgets. Life to me isn't about having 'things', it's just about fulfilment, enjoyment, passion.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I can't host at the moment. I live with 4 other guys, and our apartment is crowded enough as it is. I'm also in the middle of moving interstate, and plan on travelling some at the end of this year. Will have to wait until next year kiddos.

I can meet people for drinks and mini tours of this city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I sleep on people's couches all the time, does that count?
