Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To love, be loved and never stop learning
ABOUT ME
I love to learn new things, make new friends and have adventures. I try to spend every day working towards something that will enrich the lives of those who I am fortunate enough to meet.
I am always up for new experiences and I love pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that there is an inherent nature in all of us, that we share some universally human behaviors and it is through understanding what these are that we can grow and enrich the lives of others.
I live to enjoy life, and I enjoy life by putting a smile on other peoples faces and growing as a person every day of my life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to stay with as many people as I can on my travels, soaking up the generous hospitality of couches around the world and getting to know some amazing and like minded people.
Likewise, I want to host some incredible individuals and share the joys of my country with couchsurfers from all over the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am now a veteran Couchsurfer, having spent 9 months bouncing from couch to couch across South America and the USA. I love the idea behind making the world a better place through friendship and connection.
I hope to give back to the couchsurfing community as much as I can by being an awesome host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Amazing thing seen;
When I was in Korea I made a trip to a small fishing village called Samcheok, and at this place I found the little known....
Penis Park
This is a park dedicated to appeasing the desires of a woman who died unmarried, and the whole place is covered in phallic totem poles masterfully sculpted into a plethora of different shapes and themes.
Well worth a visit if your up for a giggle or two.
Amazing thing done;
Skydiving, this one morning of adrenaline made me realise that the troubles in my life are really nothing compared to the real problems other people face. It gave me a fresh perspective on life, and made me want to live everyday as it was my last.
