Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to survive my year in mexico!
ABOUT ME
I studied International studies/business at UNSW in Sydney. I have been on exchange and lived in Brasil, travelling extensively.
I used to work as a bartender and enjoyed elements of the nightlife that surrounds it, time with friends is my most treasured past time along with exercise
I love all sports especially Rugby Union
Current law student at night and grind it out as a project manager during the day
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in living life as openly as possible, there is good that can be found in all things. I thirst for knowledge and understanding but as i am constantly reminded you must take time out from such pursuits frequently and just be.
I am trying to live my life with more enjoyment and less care these days
These days my attention is centred upon getting to mexico and then i'll take it from there
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Totally need to update this part, i have now officially hosted my first couch surfers and they were awesome!
to be honest they helped me more than i helped them,
Im thinking the house would have just fallen apart over the last few days without them
Im hoping to couch surf other peoples places in the future!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
no official couch surfing experience insomuch however i have been couchsurfing the globe for years. Waking up on a mouldy couch with a mouth like an ashtray surrounded by bottles is an all too familiar experience. More placid couch surfing times have also been had ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have walked through the Amazon Jungle in silence with only nature and myself, it was dark from the canopy and i waded through water and for only the briefest moment which seemed to extend into a lifetime i was completely and utterly alone.
it is hard to explain, but it was an intense experience.
Oh, I got into a rousing rendition of Hotel California in a little ex-mining town called santa rosalia on the Baja Peninsula with my friend Edward. Suffice to say our singing was awful and the crowd kept clamouring for encores!
