About Me

CURRENT MISSION

love life.

ABOUT ME

*EDIT
C/S is about shared experiences not saving money, please be aware of the C/S ethos before you come stay with me😊
Sadly after a string of people taking advantage / having no clue I need some confirmation of what kind of person you are before I offer you my home. Also I'm happy to cook for you and all the rest
And would love to drink / eat with you so
please don't arrive empty handed!😊

I love to surf and be in the Ocean. It's the main reason behind all of my travels. I also love to snowboard, dive, be active, be in and around nature, cook nice food, eat nice food, drink and be social. I'm very lucky to live a lifestyle where I meet lots of amazing people and constantly find myself open to new experiences.

I've now just recently set myself up in Stockholm, I'm moved to Sweden permanently and I also cycled here! Would highly recommend doing a cycle trip to anyone it is great and there is a brilliant network of people world wide doing it, now giving back by hosting for a while. Please ensure you are aware of the CS ethos before you ask to stay with me and be aware of the reciprocal nature of being hosted!

PHILOSOPHY

Always make sure your happy, If there's something that's making you unhappy, arrange your life so it's not a part of it.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" As Gandhi said.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I Participate by carrying on the CS ethos, which to me is about giving freely and being open and genuine to people and learning and teaching. We're all on our own little journey and I think CS is a really positive thing. I've only ever hosted, but that will change when I get on the road I hope!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great website, met lots of amazing, similar minded people from all walks of life, generally a great experience.

Interests

Main interest is waves! Lots and lots of others, being happy is a big one! Far too many to list really, but I will try, I'm heavily into design. I studied product design back in college, but I love architecture, interior design, eco design etc. I'm heavily into sustainable living and permaculture also.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just read "Emergency sex and other desperate measures" Really great book, would really recommend it if you wanna take stock of the impact your having on the world.

Anthony kiedis's biography "scar tissue" Amazing, really, really great read.

Anything by Michael Moore, Dr Ben Goldacre's Bad pharma is a great read. John Simpson books, lots of penguin classics, most of Jack kerouac, HP series was awesome in the younger years haha. Again too many to list!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once in Western Australia on a deserted beach at sunset I Surfed a wave with two dolphins. They were so close I could have reached out and touched them. The only witness was my friend paddling back out in the channel. It was one of the most amazing things the oceans ever offered up for me.
