About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover the ultimate one-line quote

ABOUT ME

Ive been living in Norwich, UK for about a year now with my girlfriend Natalia. Its a cool little place and a complete time warp - if you want to see what life was like 100 years ago, come to Norwich.
I was born and raised in Australia but for the time being I am occupied in travelling Europe as much as possible.
I enjoy partying as often as i can just like everyone else.
Most of all, i love shit jokes and live music

PHILOSOPHY

I am not a deep thinker - I dont want to drown.
Everything ahead of you is in your own hands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Keeping an open mind towards everyone and everywhere, immersing myself in different cultures. Hopefully this goes beyond just going out to international restaurants...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Trip to Europe brought me the first taste of CS'ing as a traveler, and I was able to stay and hang out with a wide variety of people. Ive done similar in Aus over the last couple of years when I lived there. The best experiences ive had are going to the small little bars, listening to music and talking shit.

Interests

Australian Rules Football (I will explain the rules upon request), Skiing and cricket. Downhill mountain biking. Surfing, but im rubbish at it. Backgammon
