CURRENT MISSION

To pollinate good thoughts, meet good people and have fun while doing it.

ABOUT ME

After graduating high-school I spent a year overseas with a group of friends learning, working, volunteering living.
It was here that I not only realised what home truly meant but that my heart caught on fire with something I have since found out is called the "travel bug".
Since then I have had an unquenchable thirst that I have managed to tease on a couple of occassions.

I'm a writer. I would like to maybe some day write for film or TV, but I love nothing more than writing about my travels.

When I finish my degree I plan cutting loose across the galaxy until my heart and soul find their accord and are ready to go home.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is to be lived so that it may be shared. We go where go because of the decisions that we make and though we are influenced and pushed and pulled by millions of factors around us, ultimately we are responsible for those decisions.

There is a path for each of us, we just need to decided what it is (not with one sweeping choice but in the minutiae of everything we do).

Peaceful union with the self, others and nature is the ultimate happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet others with the same unquenchable thirst. I want to discover what that means. Though I am not in a position to offer a couch right now (circumstances may change) I am happy to meet up with anyone who will be gracing the fair shores of Perth, Western Australia, show them some cool spots and have a few beers and introduce them to other like-minded trail-blazers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only informal experience outside of the website.

I have surfed couches in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Hadera, Paris, Amsterdam, Sydney, Melbourne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Entered a National Park in Western Thailand several hours north of Kanchanaburi.

The park had been close but my friend and I, along with two Swedish travelers that we had met, entered the park and ventured deep within, it was deserted.

We then gorged our eyes on the most massive multi-level waterfall and of us had ever seen. Climbed someway up and dived into a pool in the waterfall and swam around as the sun set.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have long been perfecting the art of story-telling.
