Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am currently looking to meet people all around the world and share stories and have good times together. Lets explore these amazing places together!
ABOUT ME
Down to earth, nice guy with a nice smile :)
Polite, honest, considerate and adventurous :)
I am a humanitarian; my heart and spirit are bigger than my body.
I would like to see the world through the eyes of others, gain and share knowledge and experience new cultures. When we meet a new person our own world expands and is greater than before - this is one of the blessings in life.
PHILOSOPHY
Even though at first we are strangers we are all connected, lets share this connection around the world. I truly believe there are friends for you in every country - you just don't know them yet ;)
Giving and sharing are the greatest gifts on this earth.
Take 100% responsibility for your life, you have the power to create your own experiences in life, so create your life how you want!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Learning about different cultures and customs increases our world view and we come to realise our common humanity. We come to understand that differences and diversity are what make us unique and worth celebrating.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Had some great times with amazing people in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Went on a random 3 day trips around the Assy Plateau drinking whisky, swiming in natural lakes and trying to ensure our 4x4 didn't fall off a big drop!
