About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

The most important thing to know about me is that I love to live life. Probably my biggest passion in life is travelling.
I have a genuine intention to travel the whole world and out of it!
I'm a vegan, I love to cook and eat awesome vegan food. I love WT Kung Fu and have recently started getting into yoga.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated; and always remember that your life is your own, do what you want with it, and never let anything hold you back from accomplishing your dreams.

"Live your life with a passion, everything you do, do well, you only get out of life what you put in"

"Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out" Jack Buck

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing, hosting, hanging out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing not only saved my life in Australia, but also introduced me to some very amazing people in my life.

Interests

I have an infinite number of interests.
Some examples would be Music, Travelling, Wing Tsun, religion, philosophy, psychology, languages, the mind, the universe, nutrition. I like good food, red wine, theatre, cycling, roller skating, chess, live music, movies, photography and anything new to me.
I'm currently learning the guitar, and would love to learn Saxophone one day.

Music, Movies, and Books

The pianist, Across the Universe, The Green Mile, V for Vendetta, Motorcycle Diaries, The Matrix, El Secreto de sus Ojos and Presunto Culpable are just some in the way of movies.

I'm a huge music lover, I love all sorts from rock and some forms of metal, to blues, jazz, soul, reggae etc. I'm willing to give anything a try.

As for books I'd say The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The shadow in the Wind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe every day should contain something amazing for you, some days you just have to a look a little harder than others, so it's hard to say just ONE thing.

I can say that volunteering in Mexico in a turtle/crocodile conservation and within an orphanage was definitely amazing.

I could say that watching the sunrise in Tasmania, or petting kangaroos in Brisbane was amazing.

But perhaps one of the most amazing for me, that truly shows us the good in people's hearts, was when (at the bus station in Melbourne heading towards Sydney) I begin speaking with who seems to be a nice lady. When she asks my reason for going towards Sydney, I explain that I've run out of money and I'm going to meet an old friend who will look after me for my last week in the country. After a while more of speaking, we're ready to board the bus, but before getting on she holds out in her hand $50 and insists that I'm not allowed on that bus until I take it, so I can enjoy my last week there.
She had just won at a game of poker and felt that someone else could make more use of that money than she could. To me, this action was totally amazing and people like her who I continue to meet in my life by chance and by this very website are the ones who remind me that what may be a small act of kindness from yourself could be almost as great as life saving for someone else.

Teach, Learn, Share

..I want to learn EVERYTHING new .. learning more Spanish and French are my main priorities for now.
Anyone wanting to share tips on getting started with yoga or meditation would be cool too :)

I'd also particularly love to learn saxophone, good music from across the world, and also great recipes from different cultures.

I would teach anything I know that you may not, what that may be I do not know, perhaps vegan cooking, English or Spanish.
