I am often told by friends I have a relaxed personality and a sense of humour. I would describe myself as a genuine human that enjoys good conversation, teaching others and learning from others to be the best person possible. Two things I have recently been getting into are mindfulness/meditation and sustainable living. I occasionally enjoy using certain substances as a means of professional development.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea: Giving a traveler a place to crash is generally so easy but so helpful to a backpacker trying to see so much on a budget. Both can gain a rich experience from the interaction.

Interests

I'm all about the outdoors and making the most of what mother nature has to offer. If it involves lakes, mountains, rivers, beaches and snow i'm keen! I am also passionate about music and live gigs, sport and learning about the world.
