I am content with myself as a person and with my place in the world. I like to think, dream and explore, and am a positive and happy person. My ultimate passion is travelling. To be able to explore and understand a different culture is such an enriching experience. The more different a culture is to my own, the more I enjoy it. I'm fortunate to have visited 100 countries.

I'm a travel photographer, Social Media specialist, radio personality and keynote speaker. My current career allows me to share what I learn about the world through photographs, writing, Social Media and speeches.

I am a person who wants a life that rises above the ordinary, and filling my days with memorable experiences is a great way of achieving this. I am fortunate to have had many of them already - and plan to have many more in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have met some great people, look forward to meeting more! I love learning more about the world and its people.
