About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am full heartedly looking to have the best time I can while travelling around the world. I tend to not settle down anywhere for very long but I fully immerse myself in the country, culture and local area while I am there. I am currently living in Sydney after having lived in France on the beach for the fast 5 years. I am happy to have any host of mine as a guest in my house, on my very comfortable couch.

ABOUT ME

I study hard and travel as much as I can, I love learning new things and seeing new places. I'm kind, loving and trustworthy. I enjoy doing energetic sports (mainly in the sea or on snow) Someone who enjoys having people around and hearing people's stories. I also love being able to learn from other people and hope to show them some of the great things in my city and country. I am very proud of all the places I have lived. You can always request to stay with me and if I am available and have a couch in my place then you are most definitely welcome to stay on it.

PHILOSOPHY

love life while you can live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf as much as i can, and host people that request it and have obviously read my profile, but as its hard to keep up with the demand, i dont say that i have a couch. I also move around and have lived in 10 different countries so never know what my ability to host will be. Any requests will be answered though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I try and surf as much as i can when i travel so that i meet new people and have a great local experience, I used to host in London but it got to hectic with all the requests so stopped advertising, Since then I have been travelling and after my next trip I will be hosting again.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

House of spies, I am Pilgrim, Shantaram, Angels and Deamons, The Pillars of the Earth (Ken Folett in general) I read alot and I can't remember all of them, Music; I love all types of music, I just have to make the connection with it. Movies; again anything that I find can make me laugh, cry, feel something for, is a winner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently did tandem scurfing, it was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. I also did easy riding in Vietnam, lived in Switzerland, sailed in the med, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and went to Cuba.... life is amazing though and I cant list everything I've ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love Photography and want to learn all about it, so if you're any good please help me learn. I can teach you how to cook turkish food and I can give you a crazy good list of podcasts to live and learn and be entertained from.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great food, good cooking, travelling stories. I also love introducing friends to friends over the internet so that when they are travelling they meet up and end up becoming great friends too.
