About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn Portugues, convert to Spanish for 2.5 weeks then convert back to Portugues again.

ABOUT ME

My aspiration for the next year is to go into business for myself. Doing what? Well...I'm still in the process of ironing that out.
My "Myer Briggs" profile is: ENTP.
My "Wealth Dynamics" profile is: Mechanic/Creator.
These 3 profiles sum me up very well.

The more I exercise, the more healthily I eat. But I do like to indulge on one little piece of Cadbury chocolate each day. When I'm not on holidays, I usually run once or twice a week to keep the belly off and a healthy heart.
I enjoy water activities such as surfing and I recently learnt how to Kite Surf. So when I return to Australia on the 10th October I plan to buy the equipment and get stuck into it.
I want to buy/import a beach buggy like the ones in Jericoacoara. Chicks would dig it and I wouldn't have to wash it.
I enjoy the simple pleasures in life, prefer to give memories instead of presents, like to indulge in ridiculous conversations and I dream of one day waking up with superhuman powers - like the ability to see read a woman's mind.

PHILOSOPHY

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only joined recently and until I get home, I am only surfing. Perhaps when I return to the Gold Coast, I will stay with my parents for a couple of months to save money and host people there.
