About Me

Like many others I fell head over heels and absolutely in Love with traveling after my first trip to Europe. I remember having a moment to myself while I was in Lagos thinking this is what life is all about with a smile you couldn't wipe off my face for a good week.

Since returning I told myself I want to fill my life with many more experiences like I had, that this is the real definition of living to me.

I created a travel blog www.the101bucketlist.com to document my travels and inspire others though my creative background in Photography and Video. The Bucketlist was created to motivate me to tick off more things I wanted to achieve in life and there is no time to waste.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting with people on a deeper level. It's not always where you go in the world it's the people you meet.

I usually stay in hostels but nothing beats getting taking to see the city for what it really is by a local. When I was in Norway I caught up with a friend who I met through my travels and got to hang with him which was the most amazing experience and a friend for life. Seeing places for what they really are not just the tourist side, but where the locals eat I want to eat, where the locals go out I want to see. I'm all for going deep outsite my comfort zone because thats where all the magic happens.

Interests

I absolutely love food and trying new food. I own a company in Melbourne based around restaurants and exploring our cities diverse food culture. You can view a video of me and my love for food at

I literally eat everything and anything but my three favourite are Spicy food, Street Food and Sea Food. You will find me deep with the markets and streets trying all this food I've never tried.

I always love taking photos and videos while I'm away you can view more photos and videos at my blog www.the101bucketlist.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Trolltunga is the most experience I have ever completed. I found this amazing picture online and I said to myself I'm going to climb this next year and put it as a priority on the Bucketlist. It wasn't easy it took 10 hours up and back but let me tell you something it was definitely worth it. Since then I've been hungry to climb as many mountains I can, being around mother nature cannot be beaten.

Teach, Learn, Share

Here is a video I made recapping my second trip to Europe

I created this to inspire others so they can feel like I did, so people can have there own adventures and make the most of this lifetime. I am very fortunate to be in a situation where I can travel and I don't want to waste anymore time knowing a whole world awaits me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always carry my camera around with me while traveling and with a background in Weddings I can take some family or solo portraits as a gift to you.

I can also offer to pay for some of the food where the Host takes me. I'm sure they know all the hot spots being local so I want to return the favor by paying so we can enjoy a nice meal together.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Turkey
