Hey guys! My name's Andrew, but everyone calls me Andy :)

I'm a creative living in Melbourne who plans on visiting the world. I love film and books, especially novels by Haruki Murakami and David Mitchell.

I've worked in all sorts of jobs, but enjoy media-based work, especially documentary and screenwriting.

I love music and play the guitar (and even sing a little! haha) and have always played in bands since I was 15 yrs old.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing as an opportunity to explore the world via the local people. I think meeting and learning from people of the area is the best way to really experience any new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Filming a short documentary for a charity that was helping slum communities in India put their children into education. It was a rewarding experience, and opened my eyes to the varying ways of how people the world over live their lives.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty decent on the guitar and would love to teach anyone who wants to learn :)

I'd like to learn more about cooking local dishes from around the world.

I'm always up for a good conversation :) Sometimes, one conversation is all that's needed to change things for someone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good help around the kitchen, and I'm handy at telling a story both on camera and words on the page. If you need your story told on film, or a wedding or event filmed, I'm more than capable of helping out :) Also, I'm in decent health, so if you need any manuel labour, I'm more than happy to assist.
