CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy all that the world and its people having to offer and hopefully give a little back.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20 something guy from the Gold Coast, Australia. I'm pretty laid back. Love having a few drinks with mates and just generally chilling out. Having said that I'd be just as happy trekking off the beaten track in Patagonia without a soul around for miles. Currently cycling around Asia, 1 year into a multi-year, round-the-world trip of discovery.

PHILOSOPHY

Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. -- Gandhiji

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Turning a corner at night after just arriving in Rome to be met with the sight of the Coloseum bathed in a bright orange glow.
Standing on the edge of the cliffs at Hermaness in the Shetland Islands watching the roaring sea below and storm fronts building up our over the ocean.
Decided to to quit my job and cycle around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to think I know a thing or two with a camera in my hands and I'd happy to share what i know. I would really love to learn a few languages - French, Italian, Spanish. I'm always happy to share any of my other worldy experiences.
