CURRENT MISSION

to meet interesting people, make friends and expand my world view.

ABOUT ME

After growing up in the remote north west of Western Australia, I moved to Perth and fell in love with the cultural diversity there. I've sinced travelled in Asia and Europe, lived in Japan and China, and studied Japanese and Mandarin - my world view has been expanded so much and I can't get enough of it.

An engineer by study, I recently quit my engineering job and took a crazy leap into the world of climate change advocacy, where I am still learning heaps.

I'm an honest and friendly guy who enjoys meeting people from around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your passions and be honest and true to yourself and others, even if it means taking the road less travelled. Stay open-minded and never stop learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the sunrise from the top of Mt Fuji, swum with a tiger shark, worked in a factory in China, and cycled across parts of Vietnam and Spain. For me, however, the craziest thing I've ever done is quit my engineering career to become an activist and community organiser.

I enjoy studying Mandarin and Japanese, though I'm a bit rusty of late.
