About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel Europe, experience more of the world. Octoberfest in Germany is up there on the list too! And of course Vegas at some stage

ABOUT ME

Born in Melbourne, but moved out to the sticks in country Victoria when was a little tacker. Grew up on a small Ostrich farm, then moved back to the big smoke when finished school. Started my trade straight away and with regrets, never traveled until late last year, as Im know 26. Always talked about it, but never got off my ass to do it. Just recently I spent 3 mths in the UK, meeting a heap of family for the first time, and also catching with a few pommy mates and a french bloke who Ive met while they traveled Oz. So far been the best 3mths of my life, and have a ticket booked for June 10th back to Heathrow.

PHILOSOPHY

Being a tough Aussie bloke as I am, don't care think about shit like that, lol. I guess just to be honest to yourself and others. Believe in carmer, what comes around goes around. Have great goals in life, continuous throwing yourself in the deep end to make ya a strong and better person. Manners get you everywhere!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only recently joined this site, and also still fairly fresh into traveling, but while at home doing my day to day boring life I had met a few backpackers along the way. One pommy bloke spent 3mths on my couch, making a great friend for life. Another I meet on a on a holiday in Perth, who then came to Melbourne, crashing for a few days. While in England I caught with him, while h'es been living at campus. Only just realised how much fun uni would of been if I had the brains! Also met a French bloke while on holidays in Darwin early last year, staying in the same dom. He'd changed his flight home from Sydney to Melbourne so we'd fit a few final beers in. While in the UK I headed to france for three days, catching up and meeting his family and friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Like most movies, other than the scarey ones.

Love a good real story type book, none of that make believe stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not hard to please me- Everytime I head out camping in the bush with a few good mates and the trail bikes, it's the best place to be in my book. But in saying that, Spending a week up the highlands of Scotland is also up there!

Teach, Learn, Share

Im a fairly basic and simple sort. Good at my trade if anyone wants to Weld, lol. But other than that I know how to party!
