About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Right now?? To explore every crack of this steamy hotpot of a city and not kill myself on a motorbike. Actually this is probably true of every location I have been in in the past 3 years.

ABOUT ME

I swapped the seagulls of my beach home for the german cockroaches of sydney's inner west whirpool of students before packing my bags and heading to Bangkok for a year. That turned into 2 years and now after 12 months back in Sydney, Im on the move again... to Madagascar.

I enjoy all aspects of tomfoolery and salacious behaviour... for example, I have pursued underwater rugby, rickshaw racing, art festival directing, guinness world record breaking (i'll save that story for when you get here, so we have something to chat about), photography with plastic cameras and beer bottles, radio show producing and scuba divery... my favourite type of divery.

I also enjoy music a great deal. Its really the focal point of everything i do. And great authors. Shit yeah.

I like lymerics and haikus and think that rhyming couplets are like a favourite aunt... they bring joy with their reliable presents, but once they get rolling they can become tedious swiftly.

I like spontaneous acts of randomness almost as much as I hate the word random

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have one, I offer you my home, my head and if you like my map. Although last i saw my map of Bangkok, it was being used as a pillow by a house guest. This year I want to visit some of those people that have stayed with me (Gringo I'm lookin at you!) and meet some new folks too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When you find yourself sleeping on your ex boyfriends couch for more than 2 days in a row, its time to move on or move back into his bedroom...
