About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world though local eyes

ABOUT ME

If i knew my life was to go on for Eternity I would live in every city in the world for at least 6 months!! Unfortunately we are not that lucky so i have to make do by seeing a city through the eyes of someone who has lived there. Yes I do want to take snaps of those tourist landmarks but I also want to see that underground band, wander through a marketplace, watching a local game, have a beverage at somebodies usual lair and hit up a house party where the only language I understand is laughter!!!

It took me 8 years after I left school, and three university degrees to work out what I wanted to do... teach!! And after 2 and a half years of a perfect existance, great job, great colleagues, great surroundings my itchy feet forced me to leave it all behind and once again roam the world!!

Since May '08 I have been seeing the world the best way I can until I ran out of money and rolled the dice to see where Id end up... The dice said Vienna!! Then the Dice said Washington D.C and now Im back in Australia and ready to roll the dice again!!!

PHILOSOPHY

A ship is safe in Port.. But thats not What ships are built for...

and

All those who wander are not lost!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
