About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to Australianise one international at a time

ABOUT ME

Having now achieved my goal of travelling to the 7 continents my life has changed a fair bit, I am now embarking on a new adventure when I soon head off to start a new life with my beautiful wife in USA.
I spent a year in the Australian Army where I learnt a lot about myself and other people. It was the hardest challenge of my life but I wouldn't change a thing. I made friends for life and broadened my horizons.

PHILOSOPHY

To live life to the fullest, love as much as I can and help as many people as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I let a few travellers stay at my home during the few months before I left on my trip and it was a great experience, very rewarding.

When I eventually return home I hope to host as many CSers as possible!! May the travel bug grab hold of everyone!

Interests

Sport! tennis is my favourite, Roger Federer my inspiration and officially the best player of all time.
Travelling has now become my life so I would so that is now a major interest.
Photography is a passion that has been sparked by my travels
I have become a bit of an adventurer/thrill seeker in recent times...Canyoning, Caving, skydiving, white water rafting just to name a few

Meeting new people with different views and different cultures. This is what I truly love about travel. Also the AMAZING different foods I get to have.
