About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."

ABOUT ME

I read On the Road when I was 17, and ever since I've been on a quest to find the only people for me, the mad ones, mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time who never yawn or say a commonplace thing....

PHILOSOPHY

There's no such thing as failure, only learning lessons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2009 I couchsurfed around America and stayed with some awesome hosts. When I eventually get my own place I will definitely host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some great times in several American cities. All my hosts were really great people!

Interests

So many things! Literature, philosophy, obviously travel!, science (I loved physics in high school), politics and economics (yes unfortunately I'm a law student). And I can't believe I left to the end Sport, especially Australian Rules Football.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
