About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To drink enough camel milk to power a space station

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old Australian, although I prefer to avoid my own kind when possible. Have been travelling for several years, slowly degrading a little more each week to homelessness and hitch hiking. Last week I had 2 lemons for dinner and slept with some cats on the shores of the Dead Sea. I travel very cheaply, have a lot of fun, a lot f pain, and meet countless strange and downright insane people. Currently eating the biggest mango you've ever seen

PHILOSOPHY

Everything always works out fine, for everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By sleeping on your couch, floor, in your sink or standing up in your closet. And hosting from my beautiful mountain home in Tasmania, Australia!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only hosted and been hosted a few times. Generally too lazy and unreliable to CS myself, I end up sleeping in the park with the hobos, who try (and succeed) to rob me.

Interests

Eating everything, drinking too much if occasion calls for it, drawing, reading, writing, mountains, nomads, post soviet state conditions, food, good food, bad food, adventuring, regrettable tattoos and eating figs
