About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You never know what'll happen tomorrow. Carpe the fuck out of this Diem!

ABOUT ME

Im 31, but still only a kid at heart. In my spare time I'm at the beach, by the pool (or in the snow) at the gym, watching a movie, at a rugby league match, or just hanging with a friend. Like most people out there I also love to party and get my drink on with mates (Check my photos). Occasionally on Friday's my pants come off (Pants off Friday) and a photo is taken somewhere random doing something stupid. Apart from working at a local cafe here in Cologne, Germany I also operate a small business selling accessories for the GoPro camera called www.camgear.com. Last minute road trips are awesome, so count me in!

PHILOSOPHY

Your life is your message to the world. Make sure its inspiring.

Dont cry because it's over. SMILE because it happened!

Show everyone how rad you are. There's nothing as rare as someone who isn't afraid to be themselves in front of the entire world

Do not fear death, fear an un-lived life!

When you don't give up, you CANNOT fail.

If you never try, you'll never know.

Never regret anything, because at one point it was exactly what you wanted.

The noblest art is that of making others happy.

I try and live my life to the max every chance I get, cause you never know which morning you'll wake up dead. I hate negativity and will always find a positive side to everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I find myself telling everyone about CS when i meet them. Why? I don't know exactly, it just always comes up in conversation. I love meeting new people, showing people places and one day hope to own some sort of tourist business.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my couch-surfing experiences coming from being a host in Australia and Canada. I have only been a surfer/guest a few times now, but hope for many more to come. The first 3 people I hosted (You know who you are) will be friends of mine for life!....And I really look forward to building more great friendships over time because you get to meet so many cool people through couch surfing (including my girlfriend).

HAVE I EVER HAD A BAD CS EXPERIENCE

No, and I don't intend on ever having one. Is it even possible?

Interests

Beach, Swimming, Jet skiing, Netflix, YouTube sessions, 4WD-ing, Camping, Running, Football, GYM, Fitness, Skiing, Snowboarding, drinking and just having fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE The Shawshank Redemption, and most other movies, except horrors. If you want to watch a horror movie, I will probably need alcohol. I enjoy all music, provided you can understand the lyrics.... if you cant hear the words then it isn't music. Currently have a large collection of various songs so there is always a tune playing on my phone or in my apartment. Not a big reader, but if you think its good, feel free to try and convince me to read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Im only young.....but one of the most amazing things to this date was a bungee jump in New Zealand that was 134m....cant wait to top it. I love an adrenalin rush! (July 2009)

I once booked a last minute flight to cuba with a couchsurfer, we packed 10 items of clothing and left. One of the best trips ever. (March 2012)

** If you send me a couch request be sure to mention "work is boring, I want to travel" in the subject or in the request somewhere so I know you have taken the time to read my profile and couch details. **

Teach, Learn, Share
