About Me

References tell the story, but...

I love travelling to places obviously, but places don't mean as much without the people.

Everybody is interesting in their own way, and has a unique story. I like to hear those stories and share mine too...

I love music, many types. Its a constant exploration to find more good stuff...

I like being in the sun, in the water, in the mud, on a mountain bike or snowboard burning through the trees, but I also like chilling out at a cafe with coffee in hand especially when its raining and there's some good music and conversation.

I probably have way too many hats, and I'm a sucker for bright clothing.

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment, success and happiness for me is measured in gaining life experiences. These kinds of experiences can come through meeting new people, exploring new places, experiencing different cultures and putting myself in new and challenging situations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting people, having good times and sharing stories and experiences with others that I cross paths with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my experience to date has been through my travels in Europe however I have met many other people randomly that have also turned out to be couchsurfers as well as being introduced to people through my friends hosting them.

Interests

Travelling, people, cultures, new environments and languages, socialising, snowboarding, mountain biking, caving, canyoning, whitewater rafting, scuba diving, motorcycles, MUSIC!!!...

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list.. I love most music but mainly rock, old school funk, blues and old hip hop.

So many movies as well but I especially like Tarantino films, Fight Club, foreign movies but also a good ol action movie when I'm a bit braindead.

I enjoy all kinds of books as well. I like it when friends suggest me books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exploring Buzludzha was a unique highlight of my travels

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what I have to teach.

I would like to learn and experience the cultures and people of all countries around the world, especially those whose are completely different from that which I am used to.

I can share the knowledge I have from my travels and life to those who want it.

Right now I am living in Sydney but cannot accommodate guests. I can however, take you out and show you round beautiful Sydney...
