About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world and live the dream.

ABOUT ME

I am pretty typical Australian bloke who likes sport, travel and good times.

I just quit my job after 3 years to go traveling.

Love visiting different countries and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the most of life while you are young and able. Eg. Travel as much as possible and see and meet as many things and people as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Its all about promotion. I tell everyone I met when on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined couchsurfing in February 2008 to meet some new people and make some contacts before I journeyed to Europe late in 2008.
I never thought it would turn out as it has. I have made many new friends through hosting and passed on as much knowledge and wisdom about Australia a possible. I hosted a Swedish girl in about March 2008 in Melbourne and took here on a tour down the great ocean road and to a friends 21st Birthday. Then 9 months later I shared xmas and with her and her family in Sweden.
Couchsurfing really is a top notch idea.

Interests

Sports: Australian Rules Football, surfing, wakeboarding, cricket, lawn bowls, darts, ice climbing

Enjoying the great outdoors and being around animals.

Beer, wine, bunderberg rum, jagerbombs and the ensuing party that follows, not to be out done by the stumble home and the killer headache the next day.
