About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading happiness one person at a time

ABOUT ME

Ever see the movie Yes man with Jim Carrey? Well i'm kind of like him where I find I always say Yes! to any opportunity. I love trying new things and meeting new people who are enthusiastic about life, travels and adventures.
I'm super keen to explore more of this incredible globe, find some awesome new friends and experience the most of my existence.
I'm always in the mood for a deep connecting conversation about any topic. I love discussing and sharing ideas, that's how we make a better world.

PHILOSOPHY

Make a choice to take a chance, or your life will never change.
If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll do it for you.
Whenever you're pissed off, just remember that it's better than being pissed on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a generous person who likes to share experiences and happiness with my favourite kind of people... travellers. The world needs more positivity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met a Couchsurfer by talking to them at a beach in Chile, had an amazingly hospitable and unforgettable night at their home. Returned home, signed up for couchsurfing, the next day we had a German couple stay with us for 2 weeks. We took them camping for 4 days over Easter, taught them how to drive along beaches and boats up rivers, set up camp fires, and fishing. They thoroughly enjoyed their Aussie camping experience!

Interests

I'm excessively interested in almost everything. I'm constantly amazed by the complexity and mechanics of everything in life. My main passions are science, physics or mechanically related, world politics, anything outdoors and active, having a drink... or 6, learning about local cultures, exploring or learning anything new.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an incredibly varied taste in movies, books and music. I appreciate anything of quality or depth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most amazing experiences was a 3 day climb up a 6088m snowy/icy mountain in Bolivia. Summit day we left at midnight on New Years Eve climbed up ice walls and through waist deep snow at times and summited in time to see the first sunrise of the first day of 2015 from above the clouds looking down on the Andes and the Amazon. Breathtaking!

Teach, Learn, Share

Trading stories about travelling experiences and gaining perspectives on life is what I want to get out of hosting people. I have travelled a lot in Australia and would be happy to share some secret spots with guests.
