ABOUT ME

ok where do i start!? I`m 5`8" tall, blonde haired,blue eyed,75kgs and gym toned. I consider myself a bit of a gypsy free spirited type of person.Great listener and enjoy hearing about what people have to say.Easy going guy with a dark sense of humor. I adapt rather than conform to what society expects of me.Very independent and want to meet like minded people.Love nature, the beach and things of visual beauty - be it people,nature , art etc....

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to yourself and follow your heart. You can`t please everyone so just please yourself and if people don`t like it ,well its their problem!
Love and respect your fellow human being.Be humble and compassionate to those less fortunate than yourself.Live life how you want to.Open your mind and always question what the media and governments tell you.Love & Peace to all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being a seasoned traveler with tons of life experience behind me... I want to offer words of wisdom, advice and guide people on how to live the Couch surfing way! Want to meet up, chat , hang out, show people around....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had tons of couch experience before even the term was invented! I have had friends let me live with them in their homes. Even up to months at a time!I was very respectful and grateful. I think this is very important when someone offers their home to you. It also gives you a chance to experience their life, their circle of friends and life experiences. This is a wonderful thing folks so pleasure respect and treasure the moments...Much better than doing the tourist type thing of seeing as much as you can then moving onto the next place!
