I'm an Australian gay man who lives and works in New York City. I love to travel and explore new places. I enjoy keeping fit and meeting people from all different walks of life. I generally enjoy outdoor activities more than indoor but I do enjoy a good meal, good company, a nice drink and a show.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel for work and fun and I want to meet people along my way to share stories and the experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a new audible book listener. Books I've recently listened to include:
- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, Mark Manson
- Better than Before, Gretchen Rubin
- The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg
- The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, Nathaniel Branden

Movies
I love sci-fi, adventure and thriller. But I am not a fan of empty pop-corn revenue-generating movies like Transformers and Marvel's Avengers. I like movies where I feel something for the characters and where I'm engaged in the story. But a good sci-fi can give me an escape too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a kid I lived 3.5 hours' drive from the closest major city with a commercial airport. I used to think flying was only for the wealthy and I could only imagine what it was like to fly somewhere.

Now I have lost count of how many times I've flown. I have visited 25 countries on four continents (Oceana, Asia, N. America, Europe, Africa) and have lived in three countries (Australia, South Korea and now USA).

I also used to think I wasn't very smart and wasn't a good student. Now I have completed a Bachelors degree in Environmental Biology (2001) and I'm part way through a Masters degree in Management. I've scored the top grade in 5 of the 6 courses I've completed so far in my Masters degree all while working full time as a change management professional in New fucking York!
