CURRENT MISSION

To set foot on all seven continents. I've got two remaining.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living in NZ and have been traveling for the past 2 1/2 years. I have been to Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Turkey, Croatia, Netherlands, Portugal, England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Bali, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, New Zealand and have plans to see many more. I gave up my "career" to start traveling again and can't imagine what else to do anymore. It's so satisfying...:)

PHILOSOPHY

"Escapism, we are led to believe, is evidence of a deficiency in character, a certain failure of temperament, and like so many -isms, it is to be strenuously avoided. How do you expect to get ahead? people ask. But the question altogether misses the point. The escapist doesn't want to get ahead. He simply wants to get away." Maarten Troust

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been unable to participate as a host at present, due to my lack of a house, or couch for that matter. I have not actually surfed before either, but am hoping that some lovely people will take me in soon!
