About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy a pint in every country in the world... simultaneously

ABOUT ME

Im an Australian living in Edmonton, Alberta. I recently reconnected with couch surfing. I just finished my masters and so after getting a new job I thought I'd get back into a bit of travelling and meeting new people again.

My goal has always been to see as much of the world as i can, and meet as many people as i can in the process; and now I have more time on my hands to get back on it.

Things that are a big part of my life: music, food, film, cultural activities, exercise, my work, and my friends.

Try to keep fit and active and am looking forward to making the most of the CS experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Meet, greet, and help the other guy/girl.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted quite a few couch surfers when I lived in Oxford England coupled with my housemates. At the moment I'm not in a position to house people but still look forward to meeting different people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't done that much surfing but I'm looking to do more in the next few years. My only real surfing experience was in Budapest, Hungary; which was awesome!
