About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to get out of the monotonousy of life and experience what the world has to offer in all its glory

ABOUT ME

I love new things and learning about everything... one of my favourite quotes is from Albert Einstein "the more i learn, the more i realise i don't know"

PHILOSOPHY

Through the endless pursuit of knowledge, one can gain experience, and use this to become a well rounded person and then we can only hope to gain wisdom.

"If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too" Rudyard Kipling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a friend who is a member of CS and through him i have met the most amazing people and so when it came time for me to travel i was very keen to see who i would meet through CS, once i have finished my travels i am very keen to have people stay on my couch and i love the concept or helping out travelers and meeting new people while you do it.

Interests

My interests are vast and ever changing however at the time of writing this, my passions lie in traveling and experience what there is to experience in this world, cycling is and will always be very close to my heart, i love reading and wish i had the self control to allow myself to read more. i love bartending and making cocktails. And the endless pursuit of knowledge is something that will always keep me interested and motivated.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love GOOD movies, that is any movie that makes you feel something, whether it be wonder, fright, sadness, relief, anything. Some of my favourites are Pan's Labyrinth, Babel, Crash, Pursuit Of Happiness, Monty Python.
My music taste is tending to be what is classified as Alternative in Australia, but i also like house music and anything that takes my fancy really.
Books, anything captivating and eye opening, my favourite author is Isabel Allende.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding for Australia on the international stage and being a medalist in all four of my races

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about Cycling, Bar tending, mixology (cocktails), and small parts of various topics ranging from accounting to literature to the english language.
I want to learn about different cultures i want to see what other peoples lives are like all over the world and gain a greater essence of perspective for my own life.
