About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently traveling and working online indefinitely - got rid of all my things back home.

ABOUT ME

I have lived most of my life in the south-west of australia, grew up in a small coastal town. I love to travel overland over large distances, with no limited time.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to see the world and observe it through the eyes of people from different cultures, I believe I have been brought up in a western world bubble from which many people have no idea of what lies outside and what environmental impact our society has elsewhere.
- I like to attempt to understand why people do certain things, why things are as they are - evolving via influences from others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to learn from others, take from all different cultures to form ideas on how to improve the current world possibly changing the immense imbalance. Gain enough perspective to truly understand the world we live in, share my ideas with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in laos and shanghai during my asia trip in '08, in both cases it was a very hospitable and welcoming experience; I gained much knowledge about the surrounding cultures. In 2011 I embarked on a project to travel overland from bali, indonesia to london, england - with only $5000 - couchsurfing many times during the journey.
