About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The usual: live forever and take over the world.

ABOUT ME

All about me? Well, I'm 31 now and all I have to show a quarter century of life is a bunch of photos and some crazy stories. I think I'm okay with that.

PHILOSOPHY

I have no taboos and don't let anything offend me. Try anything once and never rely on pre-conceptions (or the Lonely Planet.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I'm loving it. Unfortunately, I move around too much with work to be able to host - I don't have a home! - so its all been surfing, so far. But it's all been stupendous!

Interests

Travel, astronomy, movies, music, different cultures, different lives, different food, different beers. Football (soccer), especially when played with no rules and no holds barred, on an elementary school field at midnight with the sprinklers running.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really picky. Country music isn't music, though...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18, I decided to leave home and travel. Within a week, I had a plane ticket and a backpack. I haven't looked back since.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English in Vietnam and Mexico to kids and adults. Then did it all again in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

I'm working as a Tour Leader for an Australian company an have been leading groups on the Trans-Mongolian railway all this year. I've got loads of indsider info and tips for you!
