About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working on Career

ABOUT ME

I'm very passionate about my job these days but I don't let that get in the way of some fun to. I enjoy travelling in my home state, going for long drives to the south west coast.

PHILOSOPHY

Life should only be lived on a postive happy note. Dwelling on negatives only brings about unhappyness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people from around the world and show them some sights in Perth. I have a car so i can drive around.
Love coffee as well, so always keen to catch up for a drink!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I have traveled I have never relied on a couch. But I believe the experience is great to meet new people and make friends.

Interests

Cultures, specifically cultures that are still going strong even in the face of western influence

Music, Movies, and Books

There is a series of books known as the war on the Chtorr written by David Gerrold. I'd be very surprised if anyone knew of them but they are great.

There is also the Malazan series, that's fantastic but a difficult read. It's kind of like game of thrones, but far more complex.

I quite often enjoy Chinese/Korean/Japanese Movies and TV as these tend to have a different method of telling an emotional story to what we have in western media. That's not to say the Hollywood style isn't bad :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say in my experience of life so far the most amazing thing I have seen is snow in Northern Japan 2010. I've seen it many times since but theres something special about having seen snow only for the first time in my 20's
