Personal Description

Well 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 Experience

The 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.

Interests

Music 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 enjoy

I 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 Done

Seeing a full Total Solar Eclipse in the depths of a Turkish Nation Park in 2006.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I 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.

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...

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!

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.

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!

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.

The there-is-no-need-to-worry person lol calm, clear person, uncomplicated, just relax.... what I've learnt from u "enjoy the moment, don't worry about tomorrow, just have fun and be happy" you're the best Jase ;) I really had wonderful time in Ibiza thanks to him, went out partying all days & nights during one week!incredible! that's Ibiza hehe
He took care of me all the time when we had to leave their flat, I went with him to his friends'place, met amazing people that I won't forget.... he tried to show me all the big clubs and parties there(!!!!)
and also helped me with the sightseeing, beaches, buses and all that stuff....well, what I know for sure is that I couldn't find any better CS in Ibiza than you Jase!! Thank you so much for everything, I'll really miss you guys, I hope to see you soon!! you know my home is your home 4ever, and I hope we'll see each other soon even in Ibiza, Madrid, Leeds, London, Ireland....whatever ;)
Well I could continue writting more and more but what I have to tell you, you already know it =) and for the people that is reading this to decide wether is a good idea or not to surf his couch (wherever is it ;)or just meeting him to have some drinks, let me tell you that you coudn't find any better, that you'll find a friend and have fun for sure! I promise!
So..take care my friend and keep writting me to know about you ok?! I really miss u and hope to see you at least at the closing parties! Matinee&Space is an obligation you know! Kisses muuua ;D
