Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Currently traversing the great Canadian lands with my girlfriend Rachel!
ABOUT ME
Easy going, happy, with a positive outlook on life. You'd be hard pushed to make me angry, I can brush most things off with a smile, always seek the best in people and being able to fall asleep in pretty much any location means I'm always comfortable..
PHILOSOPHY
Be nice? And believe whatever it is that you want to believe, as long as you're not hurting anyone else in the process.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
First ever 'official' couch surf was while hitchhiking through Australia to a town called Wagga Wagga - picked purely for the name, obviously. After only advertising my interest a few hours earlier, I ended up staying with a top bloke in a remote country house containing a lively mix of animals, a decent range of musical instruments and heaps of friendly conversation. The next morning, after sprucing up a breakfast and regaling me in his own crazy couchsurfing stories he had to shoot off to work, but said I could stay in the house and leave when I needed to!
This experience showed me the generosity of those willing to host, and also the positiveness of trusting your fellow traveller.
