CURRENT MISSION

To live life adventurously and vividly.

ABOUT ME

Im currently working as a paramedic. In previous years I have been an actor/film-maker, a Teacher of the Deaf, a student and a grafitti artist. I have uncurable case of wanderlust and I want to spend the rest of my life wandering the world in the search of pirate gold, adventure and awesome life experiences!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life boldly. Search out adventure, meet new people. Ask questions. Be weird. Do things different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the pleasure of staying on a number of couches in both North America and Europe. Ive also got to Hang Outs in a few cities that lead to new friends and drunken dancing. :)

Interests

I enjoy exercising, reading, writing, swimming, sculpting, discussing life, marital arts, trespassing, climbing fences, painting, sign language, film making, film watching, people watching, reading, running, goofing off.

When I am in a new city, I am always looking for grafitti. I am an artist myself and I find grafitti fascinating and authentic. I could happily spend the day searching out 'good grafitti' instead of walking through an art museum.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a teacher and one of my students said he wasnt going to smoke cigarettes because he knew that I didnt smoke them either.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know American Sign Language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a ridiculous amount of stories and I will happily share with with anyone who is interested. To be honest though, Im more interested in hearing other people's stories. I like to walk with my hosts through their cities and listen to their experiences.
