About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission: Live life to the fullest and travel the globe doing it.

ABOUT ME

Hey Everyone,

A little about me. I love languages and culture, we are all here on this earth together and what better way to discover our differing experiences than from our divergent cultural perspectives. I love listening to another language and hearing all the little differences that exist, why they exist and through which cultural influences they materialised.

While I love to be a nerd, I also enjoy going for a beer, being found at a random party in a back alley or chatting to some random interesting people. I would describe myself as a person that will try almost anything. I know if I like something but I dont know all the world has to offer so I will rarely say no.

I was always the kid who had his head in the atlas while others may have been reading childrens books (or possibly hidding a small pocket atlas behind their comics). I knew from the word go that I wanted to see every corner of the globe. That is why I study what I study and why I always find a way to get myself around the globe as much as possible.

At the end of the day, I think I'm a nice guy, I'm extremely wealthy beyond my wildest dreams but not with money. I have an amazing set of friends, a great career ahead of me (here's hoping) and a whole lot of experience both past and yet to come.

PHILOSOPHY

Live being happy, not with the goal to eventually be happy. Think of others and remember that everyone gives what they get :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed and hosted some friends...its a great way to meet locals or people living in a place!!!

Interests

Politics, Languages, Culture, I don't have a musical style I simply know what I dont like - which is a small amount - open to all musical adventures, concerts, the beach, the mountains and nature in general, cafes, museums and art galleries, the beach, the beach, the beach once more, big cities, little towns, party, clubs, pubs, shopping - but more for the end result rather than the monotonous act of purchasing goods - therefore I like things :D, sunset, sunrise, the day and the night, coffee, açai

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing? This is difficult and I hate pinpointing one moment, I'm just going to say that when I see someone smiling I always feel the most amazing :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to study a lot of subject matter to do with sociology and generally about the diversity of the planet, what challenges we face, I'm a talker and a listener...there is my skill.

I can also turn my eyelids inside out. :)
