About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep getting the most out of life - never going to slow me down!

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate traveler and highly sociable.
I traveled Europe in '08 for 6 months where i got my first taste of Couch Surfing. Absolutly loved the experience and have gone back many times. Since then I've been to Thailand several times as well as Cambodia.
Just recently i managed to get to Africa where i spent a month in Kenya and Tanzania - What an amazing place!!
My next goal is to explore the fantastic South American continent

When im not traveling im a student studying Engineering at University of Sydney. I run one of the biggest student societies trying to share the fun.

As much as I love always being on the go i do appreciate finding a quiet corner of the world and kicking back with a book.

PHILOSOPHY

Always do what needs to be done. Try to have as few regrets as possible - especially ones that start with "i wish i had done [insert activity] when i had the chance"
So i do my best to never let an opportunity slide past.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend and I had the uttermost pleasure of couch surfing in Paris in '08. It was an eye opening experience and a definite highlight of my trip. Since then we've been able to return the favour to the French couple when they traveled out to Australia.

A couch surfing noob but im keen to rectify that.
