About Me

Hi!
I am an eccentric and open-minded individual, all the way from Australia. True to my country of origin, I am quite easy-going and love a good chat, particularly if it involves alcohol. My interests include drawing, photography and film.
While I do love to attend parties, the idea of "clubbing" or partying until the early hours of the morning terrifies ("repulses" may be too strong of a word) me, so you do not have to worry about that.
I am incredibly kind and courteous person, and very respectful of people's property.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find a few places to stay on my various journeys.
I hope that the people who I stay with would (time-permitting of course) be able to show me a bit of their city, and give me an insight into the local's experience!

Interests

Drawing, film, photography, design, art, traveling, bar tending, psychology, textiles, archaeology... The list is endless!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Radiohead, Sales, HTRK, Dillon, Lorde, Alpine, Bowie, pretty much all 80s rock.

Movies: impossible to list favourite, there are so many and for so many different reasons. Some television series that I love purely for production design are The Knick, American Horror Story, True Detective (first season).

Books: easier to list authors - Virginia Wolfe, Oscar Wilde, Tolkien.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Art restoration in the Italy's South-Eastern region. It was a proud moment for me, going underground and spending days working hard and sweating to clean and mend Byzantine grotto frescoes, when I realized that this was a journey that I had planned, paid for entirely and was living! I felt like Indiana Jones.

Teach, Learn, Share

What does that even mean?
Do I agree with those things? Yes.
Can I do those things? Yes.
What skills or wisdom can I impart upon the world? I can teach people to draw I suppose, or at least help people to see what I see; that everything contains art.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want to have good discussions about art or history, or learn about these things I can do that. I also have skills in personal styling, of both fashion and interiors, so I can help with that.
Happy to share meals, alcohol and my time with hosts!
