Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to host couch surfers to ensure I don't go too crazy while I'm stuck in the same place for a while
ABOUT ME
I've caught a chronic dose of the travel bug in the past few years, it makes attempting to settle into a "normal life" in Melbourne borderline impossible. I've made a pledge to work for 12months in a row this time around but 6months in I'm starting to get itchy feet again...
I've been attempting to stay sane by doing small trips to visit friends around various parts of the country, continuing to drink like i am traveling (weekends only now...unless there's something really good on) and trying to fill my house with couch surfers and generally trying to pretend I'm not really stuck at home!
PHILOSOPHY
The best things in life are worth working for.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
Love a good book, especially biographies and history. Music tastes are pretty varied, it all depends on what i'm doing, where i am and how i'm feeling!
Movies....a bit of everything, when I'm hungover I can sit down and watch hours of Disney movies, that's generally all my brain can handle at times like that! Normally anything goes, light action, occasionally horror, and always in the mood for a comedy!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Watching the full moon rise over the Rockies while standing on top of Vail mountain in Colorado, then skiing home in the moon light.
Teach, Learn, Share
over the past few months of traveling, i've become an expert at unpacking and repacking my backpack, and throwing out all the unnecessaries that weigh you down! my best accomplishment to date is my 11kg backpack for 4months of traveling Europe, I'm happy to share the magic of rolling everything, the art of pulling off the same outfit every 5days and the pleasure of watching your travel buddies struggle under the weight of their monumental sized packs!
