I'm an Australian studying my Masters in Sweden!

I have a strong passion for music, travel and languages. I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist. I love to travel and to live in other countries. I lived/worked/studied in Sweden, Colombia and Washington DC . Though I have many more travel plans and plans to live abroad which I hope to get the chance to do one day! I also love languages and have taught myself both Swedish and Spanish and hope to learn more languages in the future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet local people and understand local life when I travel. Couchsurfing brings together people from across the world. It is a great way to meet people and is a knowledge base between locals and travellers that is better than any travel book.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have studied classical music composition but have also played in an alternative rock band. Least to say my musical interests are diverse.
I like books and movies that are mind expansive and make me re-think the way I view things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am curious about the world and all of its cultures. However, I also feel connected to nature and like to be out in the wild. Some of my best experiences traveling have combined the two, such as visiting the volcanic islands of Vestmannaeyjar in Iceland and watching the northern lights in Tromsø, Norway.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play a number of various instruments, foremost piano, but I also sing and play guitar. I have taken a recent interest in languages and regret not taking it up earlier! I have in the past traded lessons in music for lessons in languages and would be interested in continuing to do so in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a fun-loving guy with an open mind and few expectations.
I don't drink much nor smoke, am vegetarian and am pretty easy going, like cooking and am comfortable sleeping on floors.
I am a keen musician and at least try to play anything which a string or skin on it, but teach/perform piano, guitar and singing and am a songwriter. I am also passionate about different languages and cultures. I like to share these interests and many others with those I meet and of course like to share whatever it is my those I meet travelling/hosts/guests are interested in too.
