About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Surfing world tour! - - http://markwhitby.me

ABOUT ME

Digital Nomad since 2002 - Me: Quit the ratrace to live a more traveling lifestyle back in 2002. My business was in IT/Internet/Publishing, however, my passions of travel, writing, sharing, internet and people watching now drive my life and travels.

I have a small project to build a shack in the rainforest (Daintree) with a sustainable permaculture organic edible garden.

I am a lover of technology and see it can empower us to a greater level of sharing and understanding.

The big trip is just around the corner which combines travel, technology, publishing, social interaction and meeting the best people in the world, my friends!

PHILOSOPHY

Just Do It! NOW!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share stories... Life Stories and images. I have several websites, books and projects related to sharing life stories to add to cultural diversity and a better understanding of the world and its people as a whole.

I would love to share my enthusiasm for the opportunity of travel and surfing, yes Couch Surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have "Couch Surfed" for over 25 years... so its strange to have a title for it now. It's like the hitch hiking of accommodation...

My many friends around the world have allowed me to surf for short and long stays and now I have a whole new group of friends to "Surf" with... and share.
