About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy

ABOUT ME

According to wiki, I am a 'lifestyle traveller'.

I love people and new places, so Im either on the road or getting ready to hit the road again. My first road trip lasted 3 years, then I went home for one year till I set off again, and the road is where I now am.

PHILOSOPHY

Love what you do and Do what you love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ive crashed on many floors and sofas, even the occasional bed!
I also like meeting up at some CS event, normally nature orientated, but also getting drunk abroad!

Through the CS site I've surfed in Australia, Armenia,Austria, Germany, Iran, Sweden, Turkey, Malaysia, Philippines.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to sleep, I'm a professional at that.

I can teach you a few basics on a car if you have one as I used to be a car mechanic.

I can try to teach you how to play the harmonica even though I'm pretty rubbish myself.
