About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to make the most of every experience thrust upon me as I travel around the world!

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think I'm mostly your quintessential Aussie guy, in that I'm easy going, open minded and always willing to have a good time with anyone, my ability to wrestle kangaroos and surf at Bondi beach is sadly quite limited but I did say mostly!

PHILOSOPHY

I live to enrich my soul and that of those around me with a wide variety of experiences. I try to treat those around me with respect and kindness with the hope that they will return the favour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hoping to both welcome couch surfers to my home and surf around the world as I continue travelling. I see CS as not just a place to sleep but a real cultural exchange, I love it when people can share difference perspectives to my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All positive. I'm a curious person by nature and CS has given me the ability to learn and share with people from all walks of life that I may never have met otherwise.

Interests

People, culture, computers and anything nerdy, snowboarding, camping, hiking and anything outdoors related. I'm pretty active, I like to complete in triathlons, rowing, and marathons.
