About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to experience as many unique things, people and places as I can to gain a larger and greater perspective of the world.

ABOUT ME

Backpacking around the world for 5 months so I can figure out what to do with the rest of my life. Ive never done anything like this before so at first it was very daunting having to do everything for myself but so far its all worked out pretty well.
When I get back home, im going to return to study and get a bachelor of science in computer science.

PHILOSOPHY

"Treat others how you would like to be treated". A very simple idea that I think if more people took to heart, the world would be a much different place.
"As long as you pay your taxes and are not an asshole, then you deserve feeedom".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most of the time in group situations I am more of a listener and a watcher. But once I am out of my shell, I really love being involved. All it usually takes is a couple little pushes and then im down for whatever.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only time ive downe couchsurfing before was by complete accident! I was taking a bus from Paris to Vienna, I hadnt organised anything for my stay in Vienna so I was looking for anything. I see a couple backpackery looking people and ask them if they were going to a hostel or knew of one. The girl answered "Well, I dont really know any hostels in the city because I live here! I usually host couchsurfers so you can sleep at my place tonight if you like."
I had an amazing time, meeting lots of Austrians and tried playing Chirades with them and doing terribly.

Interests

Computers and video games (though I havent had very much time to quench this over my travels)

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing experiences I believe is the best way for a solid friendship to build. And sharing something that has never happened before is what I aim to achieve.
