CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Im think im pretty relaxed in my attitude to life, which has not boded well for the many cameras Ive lost or broken across , asia, europe, australia and africa. Meeting people from other countries always seems to teach me new things that you miss out on just living in just one place with just one group of people - i want to experience as many different things and try as many ways of living as possible - and that is why i love travel and couchsurfing!

In 2015 im starting work as a doctor and ill be hosting in south yarra

Me encanta viajar, y conocer gente interesante de distintos lugares y perspectives. Esa es la razón por la que me gusta viajar y couchsurf. Soy un médico y vivo actualmente en Melbourne.

PHILOSOPHY

I just try to be open minded and understanding of as many different perspectives as possible, I just love learning anything really, and nothing better than something totally new. Seriously, whether you are into hedgehog grooming, navel fluff collecting, or discussing the subtleties of 15th century Inuit art i love getting a taste of different worlds

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cappadoccia in turkey, you can get lost away from the hiking track and explore ancient underground cities and caves carved out of the rock. Amazing place, made you feel like Indiana Jones (if Indiana Jones was wearing flip flops and slightly hungover). Put it on your travel list!
