About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and learn from the world's Pastry Chefs..

ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people, create new ideas, and experience different cultures around the world. I am a pastry chef at Crown Melbourne and have been in the industry for 13 years now. I have tap danced since I was five years old, I have always found this a great way to explore musicality and have fun. I am an easy going, relaxed and sometimes quiet guy, but once I know you better there are many laughs to be had.

PHILOSOPHY

I aim to achieve my best everyday and if I don't I still know I gave it my best shot. The roller coaster of life is something that we may never understand, just like why we like certain colours or foods, and why we are dealt our cards from the pile. The thing that we all must realise is that no one can rewind the hands of time and no one can change history, so we must always be moving forward and looking at what we can do to change the future not what we should have done to change the past.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a well travelled surfer in the USA, NZ and Canada, I look forward to doing more surfing in the future. I am willing to meet new people and show them around if we can make a time together I would be more than happy to show people around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a fantastic CS experience so far. I have stayed with several people in different parts of the USA. CSurfing is a great way to meet new people and locals in towns, it really allows you to see parts of a town you would never see as a regular tourist. I have met amazing people, many who I can now call good friends, for the long and short term. Everyone who is involved in CS has one common goal, to help others, and that's what I love about it, you meet kind and genuine people who are willing to help you, and go out of there way to do that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling around the world is incredible, stayed with friends and family friends, also meeting new people. I also learnt some interesting travelling points you only learn by actually travelling! Great to have the travel bug, it wont go away for a while now! USA and NZ have been amazing places to travel, and experiences I will never forget. I have just married my husband in hawaii this last march 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definately teach you how to bake, so well that you will never buy a packet cake again! My sub-mission in life to turn people away from pre-mix cakes!!
