About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much as the world as possible

ABOUT ME

I come from the land down under ... Australia, love the sun, surf and great outdoors.
It all started when i was 22 when I spent 18 months travelling throughout Europe.... it was life changing, where hopes were lived and dreams became reality. It was the best thing I ever did although it set in motion the butterfly effect.... It fuelled this desire inside me to travel the world. My family and friends mean everything and my adorbale nephews Harrison 11, Kingston 6 and a beautiful Niece Indi 9 years old are my whole world and play a huge part as to why i am not permanently out on the road...

Soooo i went back over to Europe for 3 months with my bestie as well as venturing off alone to the Middle East and Africa which really was a unique experience. I since ventured on an epic 12 month roadtirp through North America and it was simply breathtaking with such surreal landscapes. I ventured for a smaller getaway to Alaskafor a month but have since now been back on home soil now for almost 3 years getting myself a little bit of concrete, aka my own home . Now I have itchy feet again,... its like this feeling that just hits you again, this desire/obssesion to see and experience everything and make the most of this journey we are all on - called life. So i've started the ball rolling to complete my target to travel to all continents with 100 countries having visited...... I am still yet to get too travel Antarctica and South and Central Americas.

I set out on a mission to travel the world in a decade and I can see the finishing light.... I can't believe it :D

I am friendly,outgoing person who loves to meet and greet with new people as i believe that everyone has there own little something to offer.
I enjoy going out and having a good time aswell as seeing new places for there historic value. People tend to tell me i crazy and perhaps they are right but i just want to make the most of life and enjoy every moment that i am given. I generally act first and think later which just may get me into trouble one day but aslong as i had fun in the process then whatever the consequences it would have made it all worth while.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy in life is that you only get one chance so make the most of it. You should live for the high notes not the steady base lines !
Take risks - Act on impulse and enjoy every moment that we are given. Life isnt about the amount of breaths we take but the amount of moments that our breath is taken away, they are sacred and should be cherished.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe that you only get out of life what you put in. I am always happy and willing to help others with travel advice, place to crash or great nights out on the town !!!

I could never express into words what CS has given me - opportunities beyond imagination. All the people i have stayed/have had stay with me or meet through Couchsurfing meets and general random encounters on this adventure that we call life have been wonderful. My luckiest would be an amazing friend i have now gained Malgosia who i will forever have in my life ...... thanks to CS.

Interests

I pretty easygoing and will give anything a go once but love travelling and going out having a good time.
There is nothing better then the natural high of adreniline, when the blood is pumping i know im alive and really enjoy all and any sport or activity that can give this to me.

  • traveling
  • eating out
  • outdoor activities
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

I generaly am a movie buff so anything with a good storyline that keeps you entrigued.
Music is my life and dancing is my WORLD. I would be lost if this was taken away form me. I enjoy all types and styles as they each offer there own uniqueness.
