About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a special couchg-giver to let me stay for a short while in Melbourne while I look for a job!

ABOUT ME

All about me?... I love lazy summer days, whitewater rafting and skydiving. I love cooking my favorite foods and trying new foods (Food in general is fairly epic). Music is food for the soul. Making friends and traveling is one of the best. I love pushing myself to do new things I've never done before: Feel the fear and do it anyway. I find different cultures and beliefs fascinating. Family is amazing, and friends are awesome. There is far more to this world than meets the eye.

PHILOSOPHY

The meaning of life is 'to live'. To live is to make experiences that last a lifetime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping out an airplane at 14000ft was pretty good.
Scratching off a major on my bucket list by witnessing the Total Solar Eclipse of 2012, with beer and good company: also very good.
Experiencing a day on an Australian Cattle Ranch at Kroombit where I; rode a horse for the first time and loved it while goat mustering, had my first go at clay pigeon shooting scoring 4/5, ate goat which tastes awesome by the way, took part in a goat rodeo, rode a mechanical bull, took part in line dancing, ate more amazing food and played drinking games until rather late. - All in one day! Not bad.
