Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To explore, play, laugh... and figure out the rest.
ABOUT ME
The glass is half full, a third full, or a quarter full. Even if there's a drop of water there's still water in there! ;) Anyway, lets go fill it up...
Nature is awesome!
I have a professional background in IT as a Business Analyst. That's probably all you need, or want, to know about that right now!
I've recently returned home following an 18 month period abroad, travelling & volunteering in/ around South East Asia, Canada, parts of the USA, and most recently South America.
PHILOSOPHY
Constantly push at the walls of your comfort zone.
Be present. Time is probably the greatest gift you can give anyone.
Everyone and everything is your teacher.
Think outside the box.
I also think keeping your word is pretty important, I don't have a lot of time for flaky people.
Be grateful, be loyal, be considerate, be honest, be kind, be yourself, and be fun! Never let go of the kid inside.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not really a lot so far. But I love the idea.
Interests
The beauty of nature - love spending time outdoors... running, hiking & biking, climbing up stuff (for the view of course)...
I really enjoy going on adventures to new places, especially combining it with photography.
I also like to foster my creative side, its important to sometimes let your mind wander and see where it takes you.
I'm also a pretty social person, so of course I enjoy spending time with others to connect/ banter with and learn from.
Also... riding my longboard, juggling, pretty much any sport, oh and ALL types of FOOD, love trying exotic dishes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Quitting my job, and travelling alone to a foreign country with no guarantees of anything and no firm plans. I must admit, this had a warped attraction about it, since my life had been so structured before. A fantastic time filled with amazing experiences and awesome people.
