About Me

Easy-going guy that likes treading my own path. Love meeting new people and learning new things. Keep things simple and try to live in the moment and just appreciate what I have in there here and now. Gotta live the life that you want :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few weeks ago I quit my job, deferred from my paramedics degree and broke my lease to take a job as a tour guide in the Daintree rainforest. I found I was spending way too much time behind a desk between my full time corporate job and uni study after work. I backpacked for a year in 2015 and had heard of CouchSurfing but never utilised it. It' the thing I loved most about backpacking, meeting people from all over the world including fellow Aussie's who all have their unique stories and pursuits. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. Life for me is about meaningful connection.

Interests

I have a broad range of interests but the ones that remain close to me are music (guitar, writing music), the great outdoors (running, hiking, camping), motorbikes, cooking great good. Learning! I love to learn new things no matter what the subject type. I find so many things fascinating; physics, chemistry, art, culture, dance, cooking, mechanics, engineering, avionics, climate change, environment, psychology... anything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit everything to go after adventure in the North... my current move. Sometimes you just have to make that call and pack up your entire life and move.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you guitar and perhaps we can write a song together!

I'd love to learn something authentic about you!

Let me cook you a nice dinner!
