CURRENT MISSION

To see more of this absolutely unreal planet and meet some grouse people on the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young guy, 21 going on 22.

Love all things sport, especially the AFL (Australian Rules Football) team the Saints and NBA team OKC.

Love watching movies/tv. Pretty much anything except Paranormal Activity - that scared the crap out of me.

Love meeting new people and their friends.

When travelling, I like to try anything and everything (that isn't contrary to who I am). Love getting out of my comfort zone and experiencing the way of life of the place I'm visiting.

I am currently a documentary photographer, focussing on weddings, engagements and parties - www.nathanshanks.com.

I also love exercising, whether it's playing sports, mucking around in the backyard or doing some weights.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, do what you can to make the world a better place, be generous, kind and loving because that's what Jesus would do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard of Couchsurfing.org for the first time whilst in the USA and I stayed, along with my friend Richie, in Oklahoma and Austin with couchsurfers. It totally changed our trip in a positive way and was an absolute ball meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the worlds largest free standing mountain and one of the largest volcano's in the world in 2012 with my Dad to raise money for the 'Fullife Foundation!'

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography, sport, some things about animals and some things about being in relationship with Jesus!

I love to learn about other cultures, about how Australia differs from other places and about other people. I love hearing peoples stories:)
