CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where some people have gone before

ABOUT ME

I was born in the UK, grew up in sprawling fields of Germany, and moved to Vegas when I was 16 years old. An inherent wanderer, or vagabond, if you'd like, since my birth. I've lived in small mining towns in Russia and sat on the rock of Gibraltar trying my hardest to see Morocco.

I love people, I love what anyone and everyone has to offer. I find that I travel because of the people I meet, not the locations I want to visit.

I'm pretty laid back, but would most likely be called the funny guy among most of my friends. I am also down for a good time, am extremely neat and tidy, and learned to be perhaps too polite growing up (I thank automatic doors from time to time).

As for now, I am finishing up a four month seasonal contract in Antarctica and travelling to New Zealand to backpack for a couple of weeks, then off to Melbourne, AU to start my work holiday visa while staying at an old friends' place.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in thoughtful impulse. Push your life until you feel uncomfortable. If you feel comfortable, push until you are uncomfortable again. Make the most out of this time on this rock, and try to not think too much about what the meaning of it all is, rather than just soaking it up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couchsurfed!

Interests

Geeking out. Staunch lover of music, knowledge, philosophy, personality traits, skills... really anything. My favorite hobbies range from riding my bike (every day at least) to attending Star Trek conventions for the hell of it. Anything I've never done before is an interest.
