I'm a 29 yo Male living with my wife (28) in Port Sorell, Tasmania. I work away 3 weeks at a time and my wife is an art teacher at a local school. I like skateboarding, snowboarding, music and woodwork. If i'm not at work and not doing any of those activities you will probably find me in my boat reading a book while waiting for the fish to bite. I like to think as a couple we are open minded and welcoming, we think that every person has something to offer. We also have a little Pug x Jack Russel dog who is asleep 23hrs a day.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We wanted to get into couch surfing as a way for us to meet some more interesting people. Tasmania is a beautiful place but it can sometimes be a little slow on the social front, especially on the North West coast.
Music, Movies, and Books
A growing playlist of my favourite songs: https://open.spotify.com/user/1233473163/playlist/0bBZNIU5IUprycsFsplPnn I think I like a pretty wide spectrum of music, that has grown and adapted out of a love for punk and electronica. My go to band has always been Modest Mouse. Favourite authors are Noam Chomsky, Chuck Palahniuk, Irvine Welsh and Charles Bukowski. Favourite movies are Fight club , Into the Wild, Snatch and Lock stock.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I filmed a timelapse of a dust storm in the outback and was able to sell the footage to buy more camera gear. https://vimeo.com/148987347
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm not sure if we are ready to host yet as we are new to couch surfing, but would love to meet some travellers and share our knowledge of this little island and help out with your trip as best we can. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have prior to your trip.
My Interests
skateboarding, snowboarding, fishing, camping, woodwork, art and music.
