Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
The journey and the experience is the mission. I bought a one way ticket to europe and have been here for 7 months. I have no plans other than to try and experience as much as possible, and embrace the idea of 'yes'... everywhere and anywhere I land.
ABOUT ME
Hopefully I am too complicated to be described in a little box like this! In short though, Im a pretty open minded person, fascinated by people languages and culture... and keen to experience as much of all of them as possible.
PHILOSOPHY
not really driven by one philosophy, never found anything I agree with as a whole.
But honesty in everything comes first...
ptherwise Life is to be lived while you can, and we should all do it the way we believe best.
We are eternally fascinating creatures and im constantly surprised by the people I meet.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment I am travelling and hoping to meet new people, learn a little about them, their lives and their homes in however small a way that might be. However, whenever I manage to return home to sydney I am keen to return the favour to the world and show a little of my city and my life to anyone interested!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
none yet... but have met plenty of people involved from both sides, all of whom have been interesting and generous.
Interests
Ah... too many to list here, because I have always been a little bit interested in a little bit of everything.
But I love my music (my travelling companion is 160gb ipod), food, drink, the arts, literature, languages... generally just enjoying the company of good people in any venue! (particularly with a drink and some cool music)
