About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover more about myself while travelling the world.

ABOUT ME

I would say that I am a naturally curious person with some odd tendencies. I like to think that I have a good humour and I can be either introverted or extraverted. I have become an avid rugby player as a result of spending three years in Australia as a child. As soon as I can think of something more insightful and descriptive I will update.

PHILOSOPHY

There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps, just perhaps, for the rest of our life we will be unwilling to settle for any less. ~ Kurt Hahn

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well in the near future I will be doing some surfing, I am taking off a year of school to save up some money and then go. In the future when I have my own place I will be a host but in the meantime I love coffee and I love beer and hopefully that will lead to many visitors.
