About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep living and learning and have a great time doing it

ABOUT ME

Generally a pretty easy going, accepting, relaxed type of guy. I enjoy my work when you can see a positive impact but love nothing more than breaking completely free and travelling around for months at a time. Like to meet people of all types and look for the best in everyone but usually gel with positive people living in the now.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life like you only have one! - I think some people forget this!
Do not look back when you are 80 and wish you had of done it when you were younger.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Started as a surfer a few years ago staying with some generous hospitable people throughout Europe. All positive couch surfs with completely different people, and each one I will remember always. Recently relocated to Thailand for work so hopefully I'll have a spare bedroom to finally return the favour and host some travellers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From beds to couches to floors all my hosts have been exceptionally hospitable. Allowing me to join their lives for a while and going out of their way to make sure I am welcome. I will always be thankful!
