CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and live every moment to the fullest

ABOUT ME

Well rounded dedicated and loyal, A team leader who brings the best out in people. I love creating things whether it be in the kitchen or in nature. Exploring, cooking, travel, nature, hiking, fishing, scuba diving, snowboarding, surfing, running, yoga, - love it all

I have worked as a chef and in kitchens since I was 14, when I was 20 years old I held my first position as a head chef in haverhill at a french-american bistro. After 6 months I was fed up with working my life away, I quit my job and moved to Cozumel, Mexico to become a PADI scuba diving instructor, after completing that I began traveling and working in many different countries around the world. most recently I was running a dive centre in Boracay, Philippines however circumstances and the "universe" have led me back to my hometown for the time being. I currently am the head chef at a busy Italian family style restaurant in the downtown area. I know plan to go out into the world again and finding some more new and exciting experiences hopefully working with my passion for the sea or for food.

PHILOSOPHY

Alan Watts is my hero

"Be like water" and "live in the now" pretty much sums it up :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

met people, see new places, save money on hotels ( in all honesty.. :), and to leave traveling more exiting and unplanned.
