About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently I am trying to ride a motorcycle from London back home to Sydney, Australia. I am in Istanbul at the moment - half way..

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old Australian.

I like motorcycles, the beach and good food!

I am new to couchsurfing, though really look forward to meeting some intersting people through it.

Currently I am riding a motorcycle around the world from London back home to Sydney Australia. If you are interested in the journey, or in me, take a look at:

I hope to get back to Sydney around December/January. I should then be able to host some people at my house (I hope) :).

PHILOSOPHY

That's a little difficult to define. Maybe after a couple of beers.

Basically there are a few things that are important in my life:
1) Feel like I am a part of something, like I can contribute to the lives of those around me
2) Being able to laugh at myself, at least once a day
3) Being open minded about new people I meet, not judging them for their differences to me, and accepting them for what they are
