About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hi I'm Marty. My Mission is to meet amazing people in amazing parts of the world. I want to share stories and experiences with all kinds of people. I want to revel in the beauty of human experience with as many of us as possible;)

ABOUT ME

I am a honest, ambitious and kind young man. I love to laugh, I love my Family and remind them of that as much as possible. I am a musician (Drummer) and performer at heart. I exercise these passions daily in my occupation as a costume interpreter at Sovereign hill gold rush museum. Where I perform 1850's street theatre, march/drum as the 40th regiment afoot. (Red coat soldiers)> I also get to indulge other passions in my job. I get to learn every day and part time blacksmithing.

I grew up on a large dairy cow farm in south-west Victoria. My Older siblings and I were taught to work hard and enjoy life from a young age. We also had the pleasure of hosting many exchange students from all over the world. Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Japan to name but a few. My parents were very good teachers in the way of the greater world. They made sure we were always experiencing and understanding other cultures. For this I am very grateful.

I love to love life. I am a very positive and patient man. I find joy and goodness in things every day. Oh, and I love to smile.

PHILOSOPHY

Invite yourself to absorb the goodness and beauty in everyday life. Be trusting of on another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am clean and tidy. If I am surfing, I will help out around the house and clean up after myself. I was always taught to help people. I also understand how hosting works. I have been a part of it for a long time and understand the dynamics of individuals.
