About Me

Hello! Im generally a calm, nice and interesting guy. Im 23, and ive been many a thing - software engineer, care worker, bartender, chemical lab tech, tour guide, magnificent couch surfer, snake owner, a nerd in every form possible, a wanderer.

Right now I'm 8 months into hitchhiking, walking, flying and sailing around the world. Honestly I am skint and trying to find work around south west Oz, so much of my day at the moment is occupied by the job search... but i always find time to take a breath and enjoy the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll meet interesting like minded peoples while exploring their neck of the woods... and its somewhere to stay for free, that isnt my tent sneakily set up next to woollies

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed up York Minster in the middle of the night and watched the sunrise over York.

Teach, Learn, Share

My passion for meditation cannot be overstated. I love introducing it to people and sharing a session or two.

As for learning, anything! Everything! I love music and writing at the moment in particular, but learning some basic language skills beyond english would be amazing too. And theres always more to learn in the kitchen :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking skills, good company, adventurous spirit, courtesy.

I meditate around an hour and a half daily and can discuss technique/philosophy or hold guided meditations for groups/individuals if a host is interested. Its genuinely my pleasure to share such things.
