Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to experience all that northern europe has to offer this summer
ABOUT ME
Quirky, eccentric, I love to meet new people and am always eager to go along with whatever new adventures life draws me into. I love wine, specially New Zealand and Austrlain varieties with which I am well schooled and very familiar. I like rivers and mountains in NZ, forests of North America, I like kicking my feet through autumn leaves. I'm equally happy seeking out a new adventure or a quiet night in with friends.
PHILOSOPHY
Friend to all, enemy to none.
Life's too short to drink crap wine (or beer).
I love meeting new people and sharing our accumulated wisdoms and experiences. I like to talk to explore, always looking for a new adventure.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I just heard about Couch Surfing today from a coworker so I am new to the whole thing. I am keen to get stuck into it. I am travelling to Northern Europe/Scandinavia this August so I would love to meet some locals. After that I will be back in Melbourne and happy to host some groovy people form all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My time at the Tracker School was an amazing life changing experience. I not only learned some really interesting meditation techniques and survival skills but an awful lot about myself as well.
Teach, Learn, Share
In the 6 years I have lived in Melbourne, I have learned about Australian and New Zealand wines, French Cheeses and both Australian and New Zealand cultures. I have travelled in NZ as well so I could give advice to couch surfers heading there after Australia. I have also studied at Tom Brown's Tracker School for 6 months studying native American philosophy and primitive survival skills. I enjoy talk with people, deep philosophical discussions or just about sport, travels, books read, etc.
