CURRENT MISSION

To see how long I can survive on this planet without the aid of a mobile phone!

ABOUT ME

I am an honest, trustworthy traveler who began his nomadic life back in 1996 with a year working in Australia.
Since then I have embarked on 7 round the world journeys taking in all of our 7 wonderful continents!
My life consists of working as a chef for 6 months or a year saving hard and then setting off again to see the world!
I have what you may call "the travel bug"!
I've now visited over 100 countries!

PHILOSOPHY

Be a good person and Good things will come.
Karma is a very powerful thing.
Positive energy attracts positive experiences.
Life is too short to work too long!
A boat looks nice in the harbour but that´s not what a boat is built for!
I was built to roam free!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's time for me to give something back to the great travel community by offering my home as a shelter after being on the other side of such wonderful hospitality throughout my travels around the world!
