About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have spent 13 years travelling around and have often been amazed at peoples generousity. Now it's PAY BACK TIME.

ABOUT ME

Hi Everyone! I have traveled for 13 years, staying everywhere from 10 million dollar super-yachts, park benches in Poland, and everything in-between! So I appreciate that you just need a bed sometimes!
Finally returned to Melbourne to see the family before they died or something, and have set up a business here which I hope to sell soon so I can buy another boat and sail around Africa.

PHILOSOPHY

Just live it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to help others as they are out exploring the world. God knows 100's of great people have helped me over the years, I'm happy that I'm in a position where I can pass on the love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently went to China and Europe for a month- 7 countries and I didn't pay for a single nights accommodation. The best thing was seeing all my peeps again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Of many amazing experiences, one of the best was being anchored off a deserted island in Tonga with a girlfriend, the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour blaring, and a mother and calf hump-back whale swam right up to our boat and blew their spray all over us. Mind-blowing.
