About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a job in Europe!!

ABOUT ME

I like to think I'm fairly easy going and relaxed, as well as opened minded and eager for new experiences. My last big couchsurfing adventure was backpacking Northern America for 3 months. It was amazing I learnt a lot about myself and the generosity of other people and it definitely helped change my attitude towards life. But that was nine years ago and I'm starting to forget what it's like. So this time I'm going bigger and bolder and going to try to find a job somewhere in Europe

Oh and I'm a Civil Engineer just in case there are any others of you out there. My specialty is water utility planning and network modelling. Basically trying to figure out the most affordable and environmentally friendly way to make sure everyone has safe drinking water and take care of the sewage/waste water.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to believe the purpose of life is to be happy... I now know there's more to it than that but I'm yet to figure out what that extra bit is yet.
So in the mean time might as well enjoy It!

Also I love a good laugh (although I'm not very funny myself 😅)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted for years back in Australia before covid... now I'm here for adventure!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beachside

Interests

Music, TV, Movies, Playing various sports (snow sports, water sports, team sports, racket sports... pretty much any fun physical activity), Wakeboarding, drinking, dancing (after I've been drinking of course), good food, travelling, the occasional party... the list goes on, I'm someone who tends to enjoy a lot of things rather than having specific hobbies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh good god there are WAAAAAY too many to list here. Fantasy and Sci-fi are my fave genre's, although trying to force myself to read self-help books as well 😅
Big fan of Australian indie pop, elctro, house, progressive, tribal and anything along those vibes. But I still like a lot of other music as well, I'm generally easy to please!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once shaved my head for charity.. being bald was weird

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have a lot for this section as I don't have any particularly interesting skillsets however if there's something you could teach me I always enjoy learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help out around the house, pehaps cook a meal (all time pending of course) otherwise I can just share a few drinks and provide stimulating conversation for a couple of nights!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United States
