Personal DescriptionWell I'm originally from Australia, Brisbane and have being travelling here, there and everywhere since I left in 2005. Since then I have seen some amazing places and equally amazing people and excited as to what I will experience next. CouchSurfing ExperienceThe experiences I have had through Couch Surfing have been just well, unbelievable. The friendships formed in such small time and welcomed into there lives is a truly special thing, simply amazing!
Due to my situation of being constantly on the move it is rare that I am able to share a couch with the lovely people off CS but when I finally settle down I can not wait to invite Couchsurfers into my home as many have done for me in the past.InterestsMusic music music!!!
Music is my life really. Could go for the standard line of "I like all music" which I do but everyone has a fave and mines goto be dance music, especially with a harder edge!
Also interested in lighting and staging of musical, theatrical and concert events.Philosophy"Everything Happens For A Reason"
which generally ties in with my biggest philosophy......
Kamuffins AKA Karma
Once of my favourites at the moment..
"Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself."Types of People I enjoyI love people of all nationalities/genders/races and hearing there stories of the past and view of the world around them.
I generally don't like people who are quite stuck up and take themselves too seriously. Have a laugh!!One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneSeeing a full Total Solar Eclipse in the depths of a Turkish Nation Park in 2006.Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectI reckon the CouchSurfing Project is one of the most amazing things that I've discovered on the internet in a long long time and is definitely something that is going to grow into something even more special.
The people that I've met here either through Hosting or just going out for a drink are absolutely fantastic, where all on the same wave length and seem to share the same views on life ...... why else would we be here.

From Benan Özkaya Ankara, Turkey Dec 5, 2009 Positive I can say that Jason is one of the most trustable person to host. He just doens't want to disturb you as a surfer, so he's paying too much attention. He's quiet but friendly and the way he looks to life is amazing. I wish that everybody could look at the same way to be happy. He met with my crazy friends and he was so gentle.
I hope i'll see you again when u finish your traveling to listen your experiences...
From Aykut Kalmaz Izmir, Turkey Dec 1, 2009 Positive He is such a nice guest, I think he has more experience about staying anywhere, He know how to survive.

From Abolfazl Kabiri Shiraz, Iran Nov 6, 2009 Positive I met him in shiraz but due to some problems I could not host him .Any way he is so intelligent and sociable. I hope I can see him once more in Shiraz or some where else. I just manage a hostel for him and it was not sufficent enogh in comparison with other tourist
From Agata Miloch Baku, Azerbaijan Nov 5, 2009 Positive My first impression, as he stayed with us really short time :) - down-to-earth, honest, really positive person. It is a pity that we didn't have a chance to talk more. I just hope that our ways will cross again somewhere.
From Kyle Lackner Baku, Azerbaijan Nov 2, 2009 Positive Jason only stayed for a little while with me, most of which time I was at work. However, he made it very easy to host him as he was extremely easy-going and low maintenance. Good guest and a good guy
From Mohammad Jafary Mashhad, Iran Oct 30, 2009 Positive he is such humble guy and a real traveler ,a lot of experience and a so many stories to tell,easy going and with different living style .
when i was hosting him i got three other guest at the same time and i think i couldn't provide him a comfortable couch that he deserve .
i wish i could spent more time with him.
wish you good luck with the rest of your travel.
From MISIEKZWANYMISIEM Baku, Azerbaijan Oct 22, 2009 Positive Jason - nice dude. Absolutely easygoing. Super polite guest. Surfer score: 100%.
From Alessio Re Milano, Italy Sep 18, 2009 Positive I met Jason (thru the suggestion of a common CS friend) on his last day in Odessa and we had some great talk over a few beers - or more - before he left to some other place. He's a totally pleasant and funny guy and had me definitely get interested in australian parties ;) So see you someday man!
From Anna Okstra Stavanger, Norway Aug 11, 2009 Positive Jason was the first couchsurfer to stay at my place, and it was nothing but positive. Me and Robin showed him around a little, and he was also very independent. On Saturday evening we had pizza, and instead of small pizzas, we got huge ones. We had a good laugh then. The last evening he cooked us a delicious dinner.
We had an awesome time. Thank you so much.
From Ewelina Chrościelewska Gdansk, Poland Aug 11, 2009 Positive HE is soooooo amazing:) trip man:D We were in the same place, in the same time and with the same host:D We had a great party together in Warsaw and he saved be from some ugly guys:D

From Dovilė Gurskytė Vilnius, Lithuania Jul 6, 2009 Positive To me Jason appeared as a true traveler, who has spent so much time just getting to know the world. He's so independent and confident in what he's doing also communicative and sharing his stories with the people around him. I also liked his accent! Hopefully you will remember this trip not only because of the incident about your "fake" passport lol :)) Best wishes and good luck in Warsaw!
From Rimma Ushkevich Minsk, Belarus Jul 6, 2009 Positive It was my first real conversation with an australian guy! Pretty cool. At first, Jason is very friendly and easy-going. Secondly, he has been traveling for 4 years and I guess he's became an citizen of the world - and this is great! And by the way Jason tries himself in journalism and I think he is able to say in here some new words.
From Antra Krācēja Jelgava, Latvia Jun 17, 2009 Positive It is so easy to host Jason! He is interested in differen staff of things as usual tourists do. Was nice to spend some time together with him, as he travelled a lot and am sure, it is just beginning as there are no borders for him! Keep rocking Jason!

From Seb Duyck Rovaniemi, Finland Jun 5, 2009 Positive I would definitely recommend hosting Jason if you have the chance. You can be sure to hear amazing life-stories! The kind of stories that makes you want to pack your staff and be on the train the next day for a new and long journey!
From Juho Taskila Tornio, Finland Jun 4, 2009 Positive Jason was a great guest. It was a nice surprise to know he loved the same music I do and the stories of his home country were amazing. Thanks for visiting my place :D
