CURRENT MISSION

Escape the Australian winter / Make some stories

ABOUT ME

Well this is a hard question. I guess I can either be quiet as a mouse or very loud depending on what mood i'm in. I am a carefree person who enjoys simple pleasures. I'd be happy to spend my days listening to records and drinking wine. My nights would be spent with a couple of close friends, some good food and another bottle of wine or 3. I'm very easygoing and nothing much ever gets me down. I'm very happy in life and would change much at all. Does that help?

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity is the key for me. If you can simplify your life then it will bring you happiness. I guess this stems from a quality not quantity type of mentality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By Couchsurfing I can meet new and interesting people. I'd like to avoid traveling halfway across the world and staying in a hostel with somebody from Australia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Glasgo, Copenhagen, Berlin and Czech. I've slept on couches, next to couches, in barns, in bus shelters and on beer crates.
