ABOUT ME

I'm back home in Melbourne after living in Sweden for almost three years, grinding out a living and studying journalism.
My history is so long ago I don't remember, and I never plan too far ahead.

I'd consider myself a very tolerant, liberal and easygoing person. That's about it, really.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good to others. Don't make assumptions. Enjoy every day, and avoid the ego.

I'm agnostic, a big fan of the mystery of life, questions and ideas are much more interesting than answers and beliefs... For me anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By cooking kickass vegge food for tired surfers and hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think that CS is a beautiful example of what people can achieve when they are open-minded and generous
My ex and I hosted a few couch surfers in summer '10, and we had the opportunity to surf with 5 different hosts in Sweden, Italy and Copenhagen. Every experience was wonderful in its own way.

Interests

I'm interested in politics and the distribution of resources, journalism, politics, literature, philosophy, art, film, music, history, capoeira, cooking good food and having discussions (but never arguments) about the world and how people relate to each other. Also, live music, clubbing (but outdoor parties are preferred), and anything I haven't seen or done before.
