CURRENT MISSION

To visit every country in the world in my lifetime (I have a long way to go)

ABOUT ME

I'm extremely curious about the world. I like to understand the social and historical reason for things. I feel most at home in places of dysfunction.

PHILOSOPHY

I worship Anthony Bourdain.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe that couchsurfing is a great avenue for cultural exchange, and therefore I disagree with the use of this website for the sole purpose of having 'free accommodation'. I will only send requests to people that I have genuine interest in meeting and I would expect the same from any potential surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has completely changed the way that I see the world. I've had some really amazing experiences through this website and I am forever grateful to have met so many wonderful people this way.

Algo increíble que he hecho

When I'm in Australia, I volunteer as an english teacher at a refugee resettlement agency. It's been a pretty amazing experience so far.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I think I have a pretty good knowledge of Australian history and politics but I'm not sure how interesting that will be to everyone. Otherwise, I'm always up for a language exchange.
