CURRENT MISSION

To travel South America for 12-14 months, learn to speak Spanish fluently and make as many local friends as possible! I am travelling solo for a long period, so I am looking forward to the challenges that this bring. I purchased a 4WD car in Santiago and so far I have driven 15000km throughout South America. The car is equipped with a roof top camper so I have camped alot in the wild and on beaches, I have many stories to share as a result. I like travelling very slowly through countries, so I can really get to know a place and it's people in depth. Best way is to meet locals, which is what has brought me to Couch surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed a few times many years ago and it was a terrific experience. My friends and I have also entertained many couchsurfers in Sydney, Australia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Havent done that much couchsurfing, but all the best travel experiences I have had have been the result of meeting and hanging out with locals. Cant think of a better way to meet locals then through CS.

Interests

- Brewing beer. My mates reckon I make an awesome pale ale.- Partying and eating out in Sydney very regularly with my like minded-friends.- Meeting my mates hungover on a hot Sunday morning in Sydney for a greasy brekafast. - Going to the many beaches in Sydney as often as I can.-- I enjoy cooking up a serious storm.- Watching all those sports which are probably not televised in your country i.e. cricket, rugby and australian rules football. I have recently got obsessed with photography and have taken 1000s of pictures in south america.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most magical experiences was finding a man in a small town in Morocco who invited me into his home on the beach. This was not an ordinary home though, he had carved himself a cave out of the rockface and lived in darkness inside the cave. He had a small bed, small stove and a prayer mat. We shared a mint tea while the waves crashed against the walls of his cave. Aamzing.
