CURRENT MISSION

Travel Europe meet rad people and see rad places

ABOUT ME

I'm traveling around Europe at the moment. After numerous hostel experiences I could basically write the script for every banal conversation possible with other travellers you meet, talk to for 5 minutes and never see again. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet real people. In New Zealand (home) I have studied philosophy and English (to post-grad level) and will continue with English Lit when I return home.

PHILOSOPHY

Be friendly to other people and the world will be a better place. (Can also be stated in the negative, 'Don't be a dick')

Teach, Learn, Share

I know stuff about things, and know how to manipulate objects with my hands pretty well. Plus I enjoy to cook. Also I have a post-graduate degree in philosophy which means that... well something I guess.
