About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meander off the well worn trail and take the dirt track

ABOUT ME

I love the feeling of setting out on a new adventure with nothing but my pack and a vague idea of where I am going. There is nothing like feeling the thrill of boarding a plane in familiar surroundings and then disembarking in a foreign land, being plunged head first into a strange and unique culture so different from the one I just left.
I am a blank canvas and approach everything with an open mind. What is the point of travel if you just re-create what you had at home overseas? I am willing to give almost anything a go and attack every situation with a gusto and energy that would make Ernest Hemingway jealous.
Anyway, for the next 12 months the road will be my mistress as I set out to explore this pale blue dot we call earth. I hope I can meet as many fantastic and fascinating people as possible on my way.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life like you're going to die, because you're going to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted, but since travelling I have surfed with a few people and think it is a brilliant idea. When I get back to Melbourne I will definitely look to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There is no greater joy than meeting fantastic people in remote and unique parts of the world. Host me and I will happily tell you about some of the more interesting experiences I have had, maybe we can even have some more interesting adventures if we are lucky.

Interests

I enjoy bike riding, photography, travelling, philosophy, long discussions over red wine, running and meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is an expansive and way too time consuming list to put here. Meet me and we can discuss over a cup of tea or quiet ale...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We'll save this story for another time. It is worth it, I promise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am exceptionally good with my hands, I can repair almost anything and can build things with ease. I would love to learn another language (Spanish) or even an instrument.
