About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore as much of the world as possible facing forward every step of the way

ABOUT ME

I was born in Australia and grew up in Sydney, but from the age of 19 I have been traveling extensively, in many countries and regions of the world, I have also lived in Ireland and the Middle East. I love food, I love music and I love people but not necessarily in that order.
I love to cook (italian is my favorite, and I am a bit of a pasta junky.) I am also one of the world's greatest Sandwich makers.
I could dance a whole night away, to virtually any kind of music.
My guilty nerdy secret is that I love Harry Potter.

PHILOSOPHY

I. When you smile at the world it smiles at you. A personal philosophy. The more I live in this world, the more I understand we cannot know what will happen. You can't plan, so the best we can do is to go with the flow and smile at it.
II. Everybody has a story, listen, you will learn something about them, the world and yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined CS on the recommendation of several friends. I will be traveling a lot in the next few months in regions of the world otherwise unfamiliar to me, and would love to meet some locals to try and better understand each place I visit. I also would love to go out and experience great night life, not just where all the tourists hang out. When I get back to Oz, I hope to get a great couch and return the favor.
