CURRENT MISSION

To better understand the world and get to know more of its amazing people

ABOUT ME

Hello Everyone!

I am an outgoing, open-minded, interested and energetic person. I have travelled to a number of countries and been lucky enough to meet some wonderful and amazing people along the way. I'm keen to meet new people and get involved in new cultures, usually over a beer and a bowl/plate/banana leaf of local food.

PHILOSOPHY

It's nice to be important, but important to be nice... But seriously, I believe a lot of the world's problems could be solved through better listening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host, meet and, occasionally be hosted. Some of my best travel experiences have been through Couchsurfing. It's such a delight to meet local people!
